I think it is related to the network card that I have. I try your script which I thought it got something to do with my error, but still fail. Thank you.

I think this is nice. I try your script which I thought it got something to do with my error, but still fail. Thank you for you iptables script. I have used your script every time I format my Linux machines. Its very handy.

Hi Elliot. Very nice tutorials i like it.

I was trying configuring xampp as fast-cgi. Everything is done except the changed in exec bash script for php-cgi path. I guess xampp doesn't have php-cgi executable or there can be someother alternative?

Please let know if its possible on xampp coz i have already configured a box using sources LAMP Fastcgi and fpm.

Thanks

Your iptables script

Thanks for your script, very nice. I especially like the part about update-rc.d. Your iptables script and the info on update-rc.d has given me a starting point and inspired me to delve deeper into iptables and start-up procedures in general.

All the best,
James

Hi,I have some problems

Guest — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:45:59 -0500

Hi,I have some problems about iptables rules under Ubuntu .
Is it necessary to create some script llike before to build the firewall,Will the rules got lost when I restart the server.

I create a simple firewall with the function of NAT,then restart the server.
type commands below in the terminal:
iptables -L -v

But display nothing.
And it seemd that the NAT function and the rules made last time are still available to use.

Hoping for your email.
Thanks.

moulting Akita

Yesterday this wouldn't have mattered to me. Today after having spentv an almost sleepless night I'm pretty down with keeping my dog off the bed. She's moulting and must have snuck on there yesterday without me noticing and I've spent the entire night pulling dog hairs out of my mouth and off my head- all very itchy and unpleasant.

That might be the case now

That might be the case now (I notice Fedora now comes with default firewall rules, which I'm pretty sure it never used to). It wasn't the case on Ubuntu a few years ago when I wrote this article, however.

Time passes, things change :)

Is this necessary?

As far as I was aware, the default ubuntu firewall rules block all unsolicited incoming traffic.

What does this do that is not already happening?

Or am I missing something obvious?

My example got formatted

My example got formatted queerly. The 1's are actually script comments. Cheers!

This worked perfectly for my

This worked perfectly for my needs. Thanks!

For those who want to ACCEPT specific ports for services like HTTPD, be sure to put those rules before the DROP rules. I fiddled with this for an hour before I figured out that the first rule that matches is the one that gets applied.

eg.

Allow specific TCP inputs
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT # ssh
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT # http

iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 3306 -s 10.176.84.219 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 3306 -s 10.176.85.10 -j ACCEPT

drop everything else
iptables -A INPUT -i eth+ -p udp -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth+ -p tcp -m tcp --syn -j DROP

Our cat is very well

Our cat is very well trained, she has a cushion on the couch and only goes there, she will not jump onto any other parts or walk muddy paws across it. Training and keeping you pet health and clean is the key to keeping your house tidy when you have a pet around.

yes

Miriam Sky — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:54:47 -0500

Good one. If your dog or pet however is always kept clean by you, then you should not worry about fleas transferring to your body. If your dog is also properly trained, then I bet it wouldn’t tear the sofa down. If they are properly disciplined then, they wont do those.

For furry furniture that is

Charlotte — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 01:22:21 -0500

For furry furniture that is true, but a flea will not last long on a leather seat. The only problem is if you sit there, it may hold onto your clothing and this is how to can spread around the house/into your car etc without needing the dog or cat. Its not hard to stop fleas, so you should, much more comfortable for you and your pet. Its totally up to you if you want to let them on the furniture or not, if your animal is clean there shouldn't be any problems. If your furniture is expensive, that is up to you to and your fault if the animal shreds it to pieces.

I agree, we dont let our dog

I agree, we dont let our dog on the sofa. While pets can be clean most of the time it is easy for them to pick up pests from other animals. Then of course there are those little accidents that dont go down well on a $2000 sofa!
