LinuxQuestions.org - gnome problem with iptables rules

hello
i have system with 2 nic's
i have setup iptables with following rules

Code:

#!/bin/sh



IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables

#MODPROBE=/sbin/modprobe

INT_NET=10.168.1.0/24



### flush existing rules and set chain policy setting to DROP



echo "[+] Flushing existing iptables rules..."

$IPTABLES -F

$IPTABLES -F -t nat

$IPTABLES -X

$IPTABLES -P INPUT DROP

$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT DROP

$IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP



###### INPUT chain ######



echo "[+] Setting up INPUT chain..."



### state tracking rules

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP INVALID " --log-ip-options --log-tcp-options

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s ! $INT_NET --syn -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix "INTRUSION"

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s ! $INT_NET --syn -m state --state NEW -j DROP

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT



### anti-spoofing rules



$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -s ! $INT_NET -j LOG --log-prefix "SPOOFED PKT "

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -s ! $INT_NET -j DROP



### ACCEPT rules



$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s $INT_NET --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT # 22 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s $INT_NET --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s $INT_NET --dport 4444 -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT



### default INPUT LOG rule

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i ! lo -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP " --log-ip-options --log-tcp-options



###### OUTPUT chain ######

echo "[+] Setting up OUTPUT chain..."

### state tracking rules

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT



### ACCEPT rules for allowing connections out



$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 21 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 43 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 443 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 4321 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT



### default OUTPUT LOG rule



$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -o ! lo -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP " --log-ip-options --log-tcp-options

then i said on shell:

Code:

>service iptables save

>chkconfig iptables on

upon restarting my system i found service "rpc.statd" failing

also gnome takes a lot of time to start
and shows the following error

There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.

The last error message was:

Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
