For instance, one of my chains says /sbin/ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 192.168.0.1/32 80 -j ACCEPT "if the source of the packet is coming from any ip (0/0) and its destination is port 80 my own ip (192.168.0.1) ..accept it." I fiddled with getting ipchains to do what redir does a few months ago..and did not get anywhere. ipchains can be used to redirect (-j REDIRECT) one port to another (ex. 192.168.0.1:80 -> 192.168.0.1:21), on the same IP address..but not to another IP address..

*WANTED: ipchains guru*
by KULISHdotCOM 16 Mar '00

Looking for someone to take a look at my ipchains script. I don't want to post it on the list as it is kind of long. A little background is in order. I want to setup an ipchains firewall to do the following: Deny everythind that is not explicitly allowed. I have a server sitting behind it that will host pop3, smtp, www, and ftp so I will need to forward all these ports. I want to allow everyone on the local network to ANYTHING out on the internet. I want to log any denials and protect against IP spoofing (and anything else that might be dangerous). If anyone is willing to help, I will send them my annotated script to take a look at. I do realize that some things are missing (probably the stuff I need help on). I have read all the HOW-TOs that I can find but something isn't clicking. Thanks for any HELP! CK

Thanks for the info - uhm, we would have noticed if the NIC had been down after that kernel message - it's our central server as I said ;-) We have no problem with the network traffic itself - no packet loss at all (thank goodness...). So it seems to be a problem with the driver module, no security issue - and as long as the server continues to serve our data I won't have to worry.

Strange kernel message
by Jan Hildebrandt 13 Mar '00

13 Mar '00

This is probably not directly security related and might be off-topic - but today I discovered a strenge kernel message in /var/log/messages of our central file server running SuSE Linux 6.2: Mar 10 12:01:23 xxx kernel: eth0: Something Wicked happened! 000a. There have been logged several such messages (000a as well as 0009, 000b) during the last days. It's a 10/100 NIC running with the via-rhine module: Feb 27 17:03:19 xxx kernel: eth0: VIA VT3043 Rhine at 0xb800, 00:40:05:a5:2f:54, IRQ 10. Feb 27 17:03:19 xxx kernel: eth0: MII PHY found at address 8, status 0x782d advertising 05e1 Link 40a1. I'm a little worried now (maybe I'm just paranoid ;-)) - can someone of you tell me what this message means?
