Firehol is blocking my podcast download ?

glenn69 · 02-28-2007, 09:37 PM

I am running ubuntu with dansguardian and firehol running. I use banshee to retrieve my podcasts.

Podcasts will not download unless I stop firehol.
How should I configure firehol to allow this?
I've read that firehol allows some "services", but I don't know which "service" a podcast download would be.

Thanks

i glanced at the FireHOL website and they state that by default packets which don't get matched by any rule are logged before they are sent to DROP... so basically what you wanna do is take a look at your system log at the moment you do a podcast request... you should be able to see the charateristics of the packets which are getting filtered... with this info, it should be easy for you to add a service using this method: http://firehol.sourceforge.net/adding.html

Which system log should I be looking in?

And what exactly would I be looking for?

Thanks

depends... but it's typically either /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages...
