Dialup with a Firwewall
by Richard 27 Feb '00

27 Feb '00

Hello I've found from my own experience that I need to use a firewall script with my own dialup machine at home. I see that there is a firewall script in the /etc/ppp/ip-up file but it's commented out and there aren't any useful howtos to explain how to use this with SuSE 6.1. If I were to just uncomment the firewall rules in /etc/ppp/ip-up would it make a good generic firewall for dialup or would I have to change parts of it ? From my own point of view it looks as though it's a bit too simple and I need to add something to it. Thanks Richard Sheffield UK

New System
by Master9116＠aol.com 25 Feb '00

Hello, I have recently put together a few computers and loaded SuSE Linix 6.3 (Kernal 2.2.13) onto them. One will be connected between the ADSL line and either a hub or a switch and act as a firewall/proxy/DCHP server. The others will provide the various internet sevices on the LAN such as mail, news, telent, ftp, http, gopher, wais, archie, dns, etc. My question is that I want to use a 486DX2/66VLB as a logging computer to provide tamper proof logging. How do I redirect the logs from the other computers to this one, and how do I get this computer setup to recieve them and write them to the disk? Also, if the firewall machine get's cracked, how do I keep the individual from attacking the other computers on the LAN? Dan.

I don't know why they have to make it so hard to find these packages for download. The web site directs you to ftp.suse.com where they do not seem to exist.

"su"
by L. Sassaman 25 Feb '00

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was wondering why the SuSE team chose to use GNU su instead of the shadow su. I find that the shadow su offers a greater level of customability, security wise. Is there a problem with it? Thanks, __ L.

Are you using it with the International version of SUSE? I think it must be non-functional until you have: >-rwxr-xr-x root root 825888 Nov 09 03:50 /usr/lib/apache/libssl.so And it appears you must install the mod_ssl package to get libssl.so. So, once again, where is the mod_ssl package to be found?

Where is openssl and mod_ssl? I read mention of them when searching the web site but found no instructions on where to get them.
