RH9 native firewall how to edit

Lleb_KCir · 04-02-2004, 03:46 PM

were do i go to edit the standard install firewall(iptables) that comes with RH9.

i have a few odd ports that i want to open up to my laptop for testing reason via my LAN.

i dont know enough about iptables to code the line, but IIRC my laptop already has a few custom lines in it that i see on startup. i could copy/paste/edit them for the ports i need if i knew were to look.

thanks for the heads up, and would gedit work for this, or do i need to learn vi/vim enough to make the edit?

Speaking as a newbie who finds iptables confusing, I'd install Webmin and play around with it. Webmin gives you relatively user-friendly option fields to fill in. It should be easier to see and understand what you're doing.

ok, duh was just looking in the wrong place on webmin for the firewall settings.

thanks.
