Hello all, I just started my firewall script for the first time (I'm running 6.1). It did not give me any problems, but I have one question: How do I know if the firewall si doing what it is supossed to do? are there any test I can run? or are there any status scripts or screens?

Run Nmap and see what ports are open for a start. Regards, Jon On Wed, 22 Mar 2000, Robert Lyons wrote:

Robert, "ipchains -L" will give you a listing of current chains, policies, and appends.

A real quick test (depending on how you set it up) would be
to try and ping the ports that you have blocked. Or tenlet
it to a remote machine and do portscanner or something.
Suggestion: I have a really hard time doing the IPChains
configuration so I use a little too called PMFirewall (you
can get it from freshmeat.net) it goes through a little
scripts and ask you some question like to you running mail
servers, do you run a web server, etc. It then asks if
there are any specific port that you want to keep open, then
it shutdown all other ports. It also puts itself in almost
every run level so a hacker can't bypass it.
