RH8 Setting up firewall

melmore · 12-17-2002, 01:03 PM

I have an existing LAN consisting of approx 20 Win98 boxes and am trying to set up a RH8 mail server.

I want to use DSL with a static IP address.

I am working on setting up Postfix.

I need to set up a firewall and would like to know the basic steps involved in doing this.

Thanks for the help.

Before I just shout STFW:

Have you looked through online HOW-TOs?
Have you searved http://google.com ?
Have you attempted anything yet?
--if so: What problems have you encountered?
--or: What have you learned that could be of interest?

Now: STFW

usually is set at install
but if you want to change settings, on fire wall, go to (from kde)
Ktask - extrax --system tools - lokkit

or

ktast - system settings - security levels

and make your changes,

the changes will take efect, you may look it like if not changes were done,
this is a security policy of red hat so no user other than root will know the firewall settings,
