iptables stopping startx
I trying to start the gui using startx. I have iptables running which seems to stop it from starting. Do I need to open some ports in the firewall so startx will work. I am running Redhat 9.0.
Thanks, JD |
You have to allow your computer to communicate with itself. Rules that look something like these at the beginning of the input and output chains might help:
iptables -A INPUT --protocol all --in-interface lo --source 127.0.0.1 --destination 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT --protocol all --out-interface lo --source 127.0.0.1 --destination 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT Lyle |
Thanks
That worked like a charm. I figured it was something simple but nothing I tried seemed to work.
Thanks! |
