Hello, I have got a question concerning setting up a default policy with iptables. There is a system with kernel 2.6. I have configured a rule set in a script which will be loaded at boot time. On SuSE 8.2 there was the same rule set - and it works. Now, 1. with the kernel 2.6 I have not any logging as configured in syslog Kern.* /var/log/firewall 2. The default policy is not set as I have expected. Here is the beginning: Some basics ... And then ... iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -P OUTPUT DROP iptables -F iptables -t nat -F iptables -X # ======================================================================= # Loopback Devices # ======================================================================= iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT # ======================================================================== === # DROP & LOG Chain # ======================================================================== = iptables -N my_drop iptables -A my_drop -p icmp -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP-ICMP " iptables -A my_drop -p udp -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP-UDP " iptables -A my_drop -p tcp -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP-TCP " iptables -A my_drop -j DROP .... Rules for SSH, http ... What could be wrong? Regards, Stefan Junge
