web server lockdown
by Alex Hargrove 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

Hi all- I'm wondering if anyone can share a "best practices" for setting up a dedicated webserver running Apache 2.0 on SUSE Pr0 9.2, like proper partitioning, lockdown, etc. I noticed an older doc referring to (I think) SUSE 6.2 or 7 that's floating around out there, but obviously that's kinda dated... I'm interested in what packages and services should be installed, and which shouldn't (but are by default) for the sake of security... stuff like that. Thanks!

YOU confused after installing apache from rpm (and not from the CDs)
by John 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

I have installed the apache2 (2.0.53) from the suse site (using the rpm utility) I ran YOU so it detected a patch for the apache2 The vulnerability is that http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-0942 and the it started to download the patch. Then i interrupted the "upgrading" process while i have installed a "flawless" version of the apache. I am wondering about suse and if it can detect well any software that are installed by rpm and not directly from the CDs, or DVD. Thanks in advance.

SUSE Security Announcement: mailman remote file disclosure (SUSE-SA:2005:006)
by Marcus Meissner 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: mailman Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2005:007 Date: Monday, Feb 14th 2005 10:30 MET Affected products: 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 Vulnerability Type: remote file disclosure Severity (1-10): 5 SUSE default package: yes Cross References: CAN-2005-0202 CAN-2004-1143 CAN-2004-1177 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: - remote file disclosure by directory traversal - cross site scripting - requires additional package python-xml 2) solution/workaround 3) special instructions and notes 4) package location and checksums 5) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: 6) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion Mailman is a flexible mailing list management tool. It provides mail controlled subscription front ends and also includes CGI scripts to handle subscription, moderation and archive retrieval and other options. Due to incomplete input validation the "private" CGI script which handles archive retrieval could be used to read any file on the system, including the configuration database of the mailman lists which include passwords in plain text. A remote attacker just needs a valid account on one mailing list managed by this mailman instance. This update fixes this problem and is tracked under the Mitre CVE ID CAN-2005-0202. Please see section (3), "special instructions and notes". Our previous mailman update (only announced in the SUSE Summary Report) additionally fixed the following two security problems: - a cross site scripting problem (CAN-2004-1177) - too weak auto generated passwords (CAN-2004-1143) This previous security fix requires the additional "python-xml" RPM which was not required before. 2) solution/workaround Temporary workarounds: - Disable execution of the CGI scripts of mailman by either moving the scripts away, or disabling it in the web servers configuration. - Edit the true_path function in the Mailman/Cgi/private.py script to contain: SLASH = '/' def true_path(path): "Ensure that the path is safe by removing .." parts = [x for x in path.split(SLASH) if x not in ('.', '..')] return SLASH.join(parts)[1:] 3) special instructions and notes After installing the upgraded packages, please make sure that your mailing list config databases have not been retrieved by attackers. You can do so by checking for patterns like ".....///" in your web servers access logs. If this is the case: - Reset all user passwords. The last security update includes a new "change_member_pw" script which can do that easily. - Change the mailing list admin password. - Optionally: Look for members which should not be in the list 4) package location and checksums Download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement. Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply the update. Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages are being offered for installation from the maintenance web. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/mailman-2.1.5-5.6.i586… 714996a830908538e30e6109faf58d23 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/mailman-2.1.5-5.6.i586… 0f11a3a3c2631c94eef59ef1842e7db9 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/src/mailman-2.1.5-5.6.src.r… df7d92ece2ea37cfb628b258be127b44 SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/mailman-2.1.4-83.13.i5… 9ee909db5738e5a9d2cbe8642b36df2e patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/mailman-2.1.4-83.13.i5… e549d97d81eea96155d2de124c8f2be7 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/src/mailman-2.1.4-83.13.src… 33964c2c5fe71a65a04e62f12b295775 SUSE Linux 9.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/mailman-2.1.2-93.i586.… 41b55c17abb0021bd9da56c5684ec0ad patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/mailman-2.1.2-93.i586.… fc20d3fdfc0463c02809bce81ba46a8c source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/src/mailman-2.1.2-93.src.rpm 3c6b3c25093c3ccf8d385a7b1e86fdb6 SUSE Linux 8.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mailman-2.1.1-110.i586… b5ee2af05bc7037e6d3e66988b9789b9 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/mailman-2.1.1-110.i586… c198e0a9bfb3c7bc828b1f6173834407 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/src/mailman-2.1.1-110.src.r… e42568b562cccb8d572b5782a3fa2f09 x86-64 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/mailman-2.1.5-5.6.… ab82f4faac15b4b0cf635937b1cc2ab5 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/mailman-2.1.5-5.6.… 074305e1baa53bfe6959293100dc8682 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/src/mailman-2.1.5-5.6.src… df7d92ece2ea37cfb628b258be127b44 SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/mailman-2.1.4-83.1… ab93f0276b9cc701224eb16c2404a7e9 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/mailman-2.1.4-83.1… 8dd9e3317ef89e3e2e8a184c02aacfbc source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/src/mailman-2.1.4-83.13.s… 62e6d965c15d9795ddcda560a6f2264f SUSE Linux 9.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/x86_64/mailman-2.1.2-93.x… 594f24a7c84defef412b517a4994ee88 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/x86_64/mailman-2.1.2-93.x… 187da073862f34b011bda55894e9b74d source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/src/mailman-2.1.2-93.src.… 0672d542ab787352b9d10b71394ffcfe ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: See the SUSE Security Summary report. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing the package. There are two verification methods that can be used independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded file or rpm package: 1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement. 2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package. 1) execute the command md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm> after you downloaded the file from a SUSE ftp server or its mirrors. Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is cryptographically signed (usually using the key security(a)suse.de), the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package. We recommend against subscribing to security lists that cause the e-mail message containing the announcement to be modified so that the signature does not match after transport through the mailing list software. Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all md5 sums for the files are useless. 2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an rpm package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the file name of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course, package authenticity verification can only target an uninstalled rpm package file. Prerequisites: a) gpg is installed b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory ~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the signature verification (usually root). You can import the key that is used by SUSE in rpm packages for SUSE Linux by saving this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and running the command (do "su -" to be root): gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import SUSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the key "build(a)suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg) and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de . - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: suse-security(a)suse.com - general/linux/SUSE security discussion.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SUSE Security Announcement Package: squid Announcement-ID: SUSE-SA:2005:006 Date: Thursday, Feb 10th 2005 13:30 MET Affected products: 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 9 Vulnerability Type: remote command execution Severity (1-10): 8 SUSE default package: no Cross References: CAN-2005-0094 CAN-2005-0095 CAN-2005-0096 CAN-2005-0097 CAN-2005-0173 CAN-2005-0174 CAN-2005-0175 CAN-2005-0211 CAN-2005-0241 Content of this advisory: 1) security vulnerability resolved: + buffer overflow in gopher parser + integer overflow in WCCP handling code + memory leak in the NTLM fakeauth_auth helper + denial-of-service in NTLM component + lax LDAP account name handling + cache poisoning by malformed HTTP packets + cache poisoning by splitted HTTP responses + buffer overflow in WCCP handling code + httpProcessReplyHeader function does not properly set the debug context problem description 2) solution/workaround 3) special instructions and notes 4) package location and checksums 5) pending vulnerabilities, solutions, workarounds: 6) standard appendix (further information) ______________________________________________________________________________ 1) problem description, brief discussion Squid is a feature-rich web-proxy with support for various web-related protocols. The last two squid updates from February the 1st and 10th fix several vulnerabilities. The impact of them range from remote denial-of-service over cache poisoning to possible remote command execution. Due to the hugh amount of bugs the vulnerabilities are just summarized here. CAN-2005-0094 A buffer overflow in the Gopher responses parser leads to memory corruption and usually crash squid. CAN-2005-0095 An integer overflow in the receiver of WCCP (Web Cache Communication Protocol) messages can be exploited remotely by sending a specially crafted UDP datagram to crash squid. CAN-2005-0096 A memory leak in the NTLM fakeauth_auth helper for Squid 2.5.STABLE7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service due to uncontrolled memory consumption. CAN-2005-0097 The NTLM component in Squid 2.5.STABLE7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a crash od squid by sending a malformed NTLM message. CAN-2005-0173 LDAP handles search filters very laxly. This behaviour can be abused to log in using several variants of a login name, possibly bypassing explicit access controls or confusing accounting. CAN-2005-0175 and CAN-2005-0174 Minor problems in the HTTP header parsing code that can be used for cache poisoning. CAN-2005-0211 A buffer overflow in the WCCP handling code in Squid 2.5 before 2.5.STABLE7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service and possibly execute arbitrary code by using a long WCCP packet. CAN-2005-0241 The httpProcessReplyHeader function in Squid 2.5-STABLE7 and earlier does not properly set the debug context when it is handling "oversized" HTTP reply headers. The impact is unknown. 2) solution/workaround There is no workaround known. 3) special instructions and notes Please make sure squid is restarted after the update. Execute 'rcsquid restart' as user root. 4) package location and checksums Download the update package for your distribution and verify its integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement. Then, install the package using the command "rpm -Fhv file.rpm" to apply the update. Our maintenance customers are being notified individually. The packages are being offered for installation from the maintenance web. x86 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/squid-2.5.STABLE6-6.6.… 1002a1c5d0841a698e76f6e9879b91e9 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586/squid-2.5.STABLE6-6.6.… 10f2257aa1238835ede8cd820a16c684 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.2/rpm/src/squid-2.5.STABLE6-6.6.s… 9d54a80127df60cad2b254c1e4a434b8 SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/squid-2.5.STABLE5-42.2… 95dc251f27d87496e73b74f15c8030c6 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/i586/squid-2.5.STABLE5-42.2… f8b5486243cc2369c8f577fdc7ff3de2 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.1/rpm/src/squid-2.5.STABLE5-42.27… d8d805a1062e9759c21cd19affdcd3b5 SUSE Linux 9.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/squid-2.5.STABLE3-118.… 8e94548f94fc7bf7f07ae2005fceb47e patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/squid-2.5.STABLE3-118.… eec32d15c7a3ae21accb69d0c02cc8b2 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/src/squid-2.5.STABLE3-118.s… 6d8a366925335c44a0727cf53a0062cf SUSE Linux 8.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/squid-2.5.STABLE1-106.… 7457d43267f88b26faf83695c87eaf89 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586/squid-2.5.STABLE1-106.… 8393c0a5791f0390030d86b71337c96e source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/src/squid-2.5.STABLE1-106.s… 189f57b8b006afdf3e13da058518491b SUSE Linux 8.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/squid-2.4.STABLE7-288.… 177fc495629e0b4d2c2e3f5fd92a8ed4 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/i586/squid-2.4.STABLE7-288.… 2bfe53711f0a4937760be18a5fe77189 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/8.1/rpm/src/squid-2.4.STABLE7-288.s… 148c812936f32d9dfb14684f081efc8d x86-64 Platform: SUSE Linux 9.2: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/squid-2.5.STABLE6-… 5ea1d0c4217095aa6416fb5524d4f5ea patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/x86_64/squid-2.5.STABLE6-… 44a8568ac14a2799cd2424088ab48a15 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.2/rpm/src/squid-2.5.STABLE6-6.6… 9d54a80127df60cad2b254c1e4a434b8 SUSE Linux 9.1: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/squid-2.5.STABLE5-… 928be9deeadb7d0c5abb02518225fd0b patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/x86_64/squid-2.5.STABLE5-… 48acc169a1d84e77ad861517b12a49f6 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.1/rpm/src/squid-2.5.STABLE5-42.… e3a8028984ea67f0b9becfd8d00e86eb SUSE Linux 9.0: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/x86_64/squid-2.5.STABLE3-… f2501c3be9d3c1f70e65fe41628ef494 patch rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/x86_64/squid-2.5.STABLE3-… 3b77d4262e1e8cbc4c71e8ec4aa48162 source rpm(s): ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/x86_64/update/9.0/rpm/src/squid-2.5.STABLE3-118… 4f3fcad35b37467922a9d710c2ea84a2 ______________________________________________________________________________ 5) Pending vulnerabilities in SUSE Distributions and Workarounds: Please see the SUSE Security Summary Report. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6) standard appendix: authenticity verification, additional information - Package authenticity verification: SUSE update packages are available on many mirror ftp servers all over the world. While this service is being considered valuable and important to the free and open source software community, many users wish to be sure about the origin of the package and its content before installing the package. There are two verification methods that can be used independently from each other to prove the authenticity of a downloaded file or rpm package: 1) md5sums as provided in the (cryptographically signed) announcement. 2) using the internal gpg signatures of the rpm package. 1) execute the command md5sum <name-of-the-file.rpm> after you downloaded the file from a SUSE ftp server or its mirrors. Then, compare the resulting md5sum with the one that is listed in the announcement. Since the announcement containing the checksums is cryptographically signed (usually using the key security(a)suse.de), the checksums show proof of the authenticity of the package. We recommend against subscribing to security lists that cause the e-mail message containing the announcement to be modified so that the signature does not match after transport through the mailing list software. Downsides: You must be able to verify the authenticity of the announcement in the first place. If RPM packages are being rebuilt and a new version of a package is published on the ftp server, all md5 sums for the files are useless. 2) rpm package signatures provide an easy way to verify the authenticity of an rpm package. Use the command rpm -v --checksig <file.rpm> to verify the signature of the package, where <file.rpm> is the file name of the rpm package that you have downloaded. Of course, package authenticity verification can only target an uninstalled rpm package file. Prerequisites: a) gpg is installed b) The package is signed using a certain key. The public part of this key must be installed by the gpg program in the directory ~/.gnupg/ under the user's home directory who performs the signature verification (usually root). You can import the key that is used by SUSE in rpm packages for SUSE Linux by saving this announcement to a file ("announcement.txt") and running the command (do "su -" to be root): gpg --batch; gpg < announcement.txt | gpg --import SUSE Linux distributions version 7.1 and thereafter install the key "build(a)suse.de" upon installation or upgrade, provided that the package gpg is installed. The file containing the public key is placed at the top-level directory of the first CD (pubring.gpg) and at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/pubring.gpg-build.suse.de . - SUSE runs two security mailing lists to which any interested party may subscribe: suse-security(a)suse.com - general/linux/SUSE security discussion.

Pam issue, Winbind - sudo combination
by Ciro Iriarte 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

Well, i'll repost my question, because my first mail wasn't clear (i was in a hurry while writing it ). Have a Suse 9.2 Pro box authenticating against an NT Domain, i could join the domain, the users login, the homes get created automagically, all seems perfect, BUT, i'm having a little problem with sudo, any time an nt-domain-user runs it, sudo prompts for password (as it should), but it never accepts it!!. The original /etc/pam.d/sudo file looked like this: ------------------------------------------------------- #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix2.so ------------------------------------------------------- Didn't find a Suse specific solution, tried a debian based one (the only one i've found), but it doesn't work, it looks like this: ------------------------------------------------------- #%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_winbind.so auth required pam_unix2.so use_first_pass ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks in advanced.

I've trying different things to get around this problem without any luck. I have a Java-based application running on a remote server, which I connect to via SSH. After starting the application, it will die as soon as I logout. I've tried to nohup the java command. No dice. Does anyone have any suggestions or possible solutions?

Problems installing iptables Patch-o-matic on SLES9 and SuSE 9.1 and 9.1
by Daniel Dochita 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hello all, I'm trying to install the extra iptables patch-o-matic on SLES9 and SuSE 9.1 and 9.2 pro and i have a lot of problems doing this. Did any of you tryed this before and if you did, have you succeded ? I'm trying to install this using the SuSE kernel, kernel 2.6 on all of them, but when i try to install any of the patches from patch-o-matic i get a lot of errors not findind different files, or the patches cant be applied resulting rej files. I patched manualy most of them, but the question is: do i have to recompile the kernel after i install the patches, or is it possible to compile just the modules and insert them in kernel ? I guess there is no rpm or something that can do this on suse. Compiling a SuSE kernel is a real pain, i tryed once and spent a lot of time resulting different problems. Any advice or previous experience of yours would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Daniel Dochita

Multiple outgoing vpn connection
by Gudmundur Arnljotsson 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Hi I have SuSE Standard server 8 (great product) working very nicely except for one small detail. It can only masquerade 1 pptp connection at time and only for the same user. To allow another user to vpn out the SuSEfirewall2 must be reset. Incoming vpn is working grate (multiple road warriors at same time all using pptp) Is there any way other than patching and recompile the kernel (according to google search) What I need is to allow 3 clients to connect to same external windows vpn server simultaneously. This was(and is) not a problem through our dsl router. Any advice? my firewall settings iptables -A INPUT -i ppp+ -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i ppp+ -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -o ppp+ -j ACCEPT FW_DEV_EXT="eth1 ppp+" FW_DEV_INT="eth0" FW_DEV_DMZ="" FW_ROUTE="yes" FW_MASQUERADE="yes" FW_MASQ_DEV="$FW_DEV_EXT" FW_MASQ_NETS="192.168.50.0/24,xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24" FW_PROTECT_FROM_INTERNAL="no" FW_AUTOPROTECT_SERVICES="yes" FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="1723 imaps smtp" FW_SERVICES_EXT_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_EXT_IP="gre" FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP="1723" FW_SERVICES_INT_UDP="" FW_SERVICES_INT_IP="gre" FW_TRUSTED_NETS="" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP="yes" FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="yes" FW_SERVICE_AUTODETECT="no" FW_SERVICE_DNS="yes" FW_SERVICE_DHCLIENT="auto" FW_SERVICE_DHCPD="yes" FW_SERVICE_SQUID="yes" FW_SERVICE_SAMBA="yes" FW_FORWARD="" FW_FORWARD_MASQ="" FW_REDIRECT="192.168.50.0/255.255.255.0,0/0,tcp,80,8080 \ 192.168.50.0/255.255.255.0,0/0,tcp,21,2121" -- regards Gudmundur Arnljotsson B.Sc Independent Scales Ltd 100a Hayton Road P.O.
