I am using SuSE 6.4 and IPChains for my Internet firewall. I have an AS/400 behind my firewall that I would like to access over the internet. It seems to me that the simple solution is to establish port redirection; assign a single port on the firewall to get redirected to the AS/400. I am not familiar with how this is done. Is this an IPChains command? I couldn't seem to find port forwarding in the IPChains documentation.
Is this the generally accepted solution for this situation? Would it be better to login to the firewall and establish a 5250 connection from there?
Using SSH to connect to the firewall first might be a more secure solution. You should have a look at rinted, which is part of SuSE Linux. See the web page at http://www.boutell.com/rinetd/ for some info about it.
