I have installed APF firewall on my system but now all the ping,rloging has stopped in both way between client and server.How to add ping and rlogin rules to the iptables.
one more question is the in apf confihuration file the
IG_TCP_CPORTS=" " definition is to define the incoming facility to the ports which i wan to allow access or vice versa.

On adding trusted host in allow_hosts.apf it is still not allowing rlogin from specific ip address.

tcp:in:d=513:s=192.168.103.103

Hi,

You need to allow OUTBOUND TCP ports too!
I think it's EG_TCP_CPORTS="your port number used" (513 ?)

then restart APF: apf -r

That was in my case when I needed some port used not standard number.

Thanks for reply.........i have also mentioned some error occurring during installation on powerpc 8560.

yes, I can see the output
and some subsequent 'tr command not found' errors which is obviously needed by APF (linux-tr-command).
I don't know your PowerPC 8560 but besides that it's more important which system is running (can you post "uname -a" or some details) and how/why there is no "tr" available.
Maybe a simple 'installation of tr' will help, but I'm not familiar with your system to tell how.
