Restore iptables file RH AS 5

AQG · 10-10-2007, 12:36 PM

Hi,

I would like to restore my iptables to its original configuration as it was when I first intalled Red Hat AS 5. But can't seem to figure out how to restore /etc/sysconfig/iptables. I never saved this file to iptables-save (bad mistake).

can someone give me a hand on this.

Thanks!!!!

Assuming the default configuration is to have everything cleared, this script would do it:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

IPT="/sbin/iptables"

$IPT -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPT -P FORWARD ACCEPT
$IPT -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

$IPT -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
$IPT -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT
$IPT -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

$IPT -t mangle -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
$IPT -t mangle -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPT -t mangle -P FORWARD ACCEPT
$IPT -t mangle -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$IPT -t mangle -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT

$IPT -t raw -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
$IPT -t raw -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

$IPT -F
$IPT -F -t nat
$IPT -F -t mangle
$IPT -F -t raw

$IPT -X
$IPT -X -t nat
$IPT -X -t mangle
$IPT -X -t raw

Keep in mind this is equivalent to having no firewall - a fresh start, in other words.

Thanks,
Just forgot to mention I'm a kind of new to iptables.
I ran your script. /etc/sysconfig/iptables looks as follows:

So now I need to open up nfs ports only to some IP's, might you have and axample of how this works or can you re-direct me to the right location.

I know 2049 is supposed to be open to share nfs but don't know which others or how to add them to the iptables.

Thank you!!

You need to do a "service iptables save" after executing the script if you want the changes to be saved.

As for NFS, start by searching LQ, as it's a question that has been asked several times.
