Marc Heuse's firewall package and SAMBA
At the moment I am running version 1.8 of Marc Heuse's firewall configuration scripts. I use this at home on a superduperdoitallwithoneoldcomputer box that does DNS, SAMBA, DHCP and a lot of other stuff that I think it needs to do. The problem is in the SMB and NMB services it runs. It deny's packetes that were broadcasted from itself from these ports (137:138) and IP 192.168.0.1 an coming back to 192.168.0.255 Now I do not have a problem with the denying, but the problem is they get logged. Since this system will run on 24h/24h basis this does fillup my logs and the box does not go into a powersave modus. Tonight I will install version 1.9 of the script and I am wondering if I can make a small change somewhere to relieve myself of this logging. BTW. I know that a box is less secure the more it has running but I just want my own "onedoesitall" BB, Arjen -- Sell what you use, use what you sell.

I got another problem with this stuff: the samba server 2.05a (this is also the SUSE 6.3 firewall with update) takes sometimes a deep breath and does not respond to one ore more clients for seconds or even minutes. I haven´t found the reason jet, but my log shows 'martians' and 'denied packets' too. Thanx, Bernhard
