HELP...with firewall

jiles912 · 02-05-2002, 01:04 AM

Can someone tell me how to punch a hole in my firewall to allow access to my email server (10.0.0.5) port 25 and 110? I have one public interface and one private interface. Also, I am running IPTABLES and 2.4.8 kernel. Any help is appreciated.

Desperate newbie...

if you're not too sure what you're doing, i'd suggest using a firewall builder like firestarter, which does all that stuff for you.

a line like...

iptabes -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -d *NET* --dport 25 -j ACCEPT

where *NET* is your interface/mask values, should do the trick tho.
