Can't find firewall?

[fenris]

I have looked in the /etc/rc.d and found rc.firewall I am not sure if this is the firewall script that my machine uses because there is another script called firewall.<br><br>I did a <br>#cat rc.sysinit ¦grep firewall <br>if [-r /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall]; then<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;. /etc/rc.d/firewall<br><br>So from this I assume that the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall is the firewalling script that is run. I would like to know how to allow traffic through the firewall via port 6669.<br><br>Any help would be greatly appreciated....<br><br> <p>Troy Williams B.Eng.<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Fenris<br><br>Assuming you are using ipchains to manage the firewall you need to add the following line to the start up script (not sure which script in your instance rc.firewall or firewall):<br><br>ipchains -A input -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 6669 -j ACCEPT<br><br>Change ppp0 to reflect the interface name the incoming requests are arriving at.<br><br>Hope this helps<br><br>Gary <br><br>
