Hi!
I have a LINUX Fedora Core 2 box and i'd like to allow only one IP to access my LINUX. What is the best way?

Thanks,
jp

PS: I'm a newby!!!

by using iptables (netfilter), the linux kernel's packet-state filtering firewall system...

if you post your current iptables script, someone can show you what you need to change...

basically, the rule to add would look something like this (when doing DROP on INPUT by default):

iptables -A INPUT -p TCP -s 192.168.0.1 --destination-port 22 -j ACCEPT

(replace 192.168.0.1 with the address you want to allow)

Hi!
Thanks for your answer. I currently don't have iptables (firewall) active. Where can i find that script?

Regards,
JP
