how to configure redhat kde firewall to ONLY allow the samba

roYal · 04-09-2004, 01:48 AM

I just installed SAMBA, but when i click that eth0 is a trusted device, my windows machine can connect to my samba share. When i uncheck it, my windows machine can't connect. I don't wanna trust my whole network card, so how can I just allow samba? Thanks.

Here are two good sources for infor on using Samba through shorewall.

type "setup" and choose "firewall configuration". u can specify ports which will be allowed in this menu.

but the best way is to learn iptables. u can find docs at www.netfilter.org if u wanna learn it.
