Re: [SLE] Shorewall and NIS/ypbind problem

Hi Andrei , OK I understand. Running a NIS-bound mail server on a firewall machines is about the most dangerous place to put it. You're putting open services on the same machine that protects your network. Best thing is to move the mail server to another machine on the internal network. Really. There's been a lot of mail about this on the IPCop forums to name just one place. If you HAVE to run it that way, is inetd or xinetd running on the firewall to intercept the port 111 requests ? I don't have a copy of Shorewall to check with (IPCop user myself). Damian
