Multiple connectivity issues with FC5

danj_fc5usr · 08-30-2006, 11:00 PM

I have been trying and trying to figure out why in the world I am having problems connecting to the server. Below is a listing of the servers I have running that I cannot connect to:

SSH
IMAP
POP3
SMTP
Samba
vsFTPd

I have made sure that the respective ports are open and even after modifying iptables, it still will not work.

Has anyone had this problem? I would like to keep using FC5, but at this rate, I am ready to go down to FC4.

Thanks

I don't know how you've modified iptables, but the following may help:

Code:

# Set the filter table policy
iptables -t filter -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -t filter -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

# Set the nat table policy
iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

# Flush the existing rules
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F

# Delete the existing user created chains
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -X

If you still can't connect to the box I'd use netstat to check that the services are actually running.

Okay, well I have nailed the major problem here. I have disabled SELinux for the time being. Once I did that Samba, and vsFTPd both came up.

Now it is down to:

pop3
imap
smtp
ssh

sheesh, this should be a lot easier than it is!

you may want to try and turn off IPTables and give that a try..

and what software are you running for the services that are not working (besides SSH)

The only software that does not function is the ones listed in the previous post.
