Personal Firewall
Sorry complete newbie - never thought I'd be so far down a learning curve again. Been hunting Google and LDP for answers but they all read a bit too complicated. I'm looking for step by step hand holding answers here.
Anyway - I recently told Win2k to clear of to another partition and installed two Linux Slackware 9.0 partitions as main and test OSs on a home PC. (Reason being I can muck about in the test one first - make my mistakes there without killing the main Linux partition.) I've got broadband connectivity through a cable modem connected to my LAN card. No other PCs involved. Eventually got the internet and mail working but now I need to get my firewall working consistently. I used Webmin to configure the ipchains firewalling and after testing at grc.com everything is in stealth mode. Then I reboot and it's all open again until I run ipchain in Webmin again. So to my questions.. 1) Having come from the windows world I feel happier for now working from within Gnome or KDE. How do I get these to autostart on boot? - [edit - I've sussed this one using the Linux System Administrators Guide 0.7 :study: ] 2) How do I get my ipchains is running from startup of my system? :scratch: ] Cheers Ian |

but I assume it generates a script (either that, or it dumps the rules into a file) ... in either case, you'll have to put a script somewhere and call it from /etc/rc.d/rc.local Cheers, Tink P.S.: Using Slack you might find that you'll get answers sooner posting the questions in the Slackware-Distro forum ;) |
