Hey everyone,
I know we just had a major firewall discussion, but I'm just late, I guess...
;-)
I remember at the CTS Derrick was chock full of info on the firewall he had
set up. So, I've been reading the Firewall HOWTO and the Ipchains HOWTO, and
I've got some questions...
I guess this is to Derrick, but anyone else feel free to chime in...
First, what were the services you disabled? The HOWTOs say time and discard
and a few others are internal services. What do they do?
Second, what software did you use to scan the other machine that you pointed
out that didn't have some of those services disabled?
Third, where do you keep the ipchains script? For me, it seems that Debian
has got some default rules and thus a default script, but I don't exactly
know where to find it...well, I guess I don't need to know to edit it,
because there is a utility called, aptly, "ipchains," so I should just be
able to type (from the command line) "ipchains -A <chain>", at least
according to the man page...
Thanks!
Russell
