[plug] IPCHAINS

[Stephen Lamont]

Could anyone help me with a problem I have.
1. I have run a Linux server for over three years as a server. Recently I
had to upgrade to Redhat 7 and have rebuilt. Myold box had a port 6635 open
to which people could telnet into a root bash prompt. I have now rebuilt and
it wasn't an issue. But I am interested as I was running Redhat 6 with a ppp
connection squid, sendmail, etc. What is port 6635 and how did it get open.
2. Now I have rebuilt my server, I'm running squid, remote access, etc, but
I am dealing with IPCHAINS. I have read all the documention regarding the
set up from Redhat's site (Rusty Russell)and have written a set of rules
which I have placed in a file (chmod 700) in the /usr/sbin directory.
Firewall.config is the name of the rules file I wrote. I then wrote the line
in rc.local as:
. /usr/sbin/firewall.config
1.My problem is that I want to know if IPCHAINS is running?When I do a ps
aux |more the I cannot see the process. Does it have one?
2. I want to make my system secure so I can go out but not in -any web pages
(I have read just about everything I can find at Redhat)
3. I have the file /proc/net/ip_fwchains so it is loaded in the kernel.
4. Any advice on getting the thing going and knowing if it is working?
Regards
Steve Lamont

Almost forget.
In Red Hat under /usr/doc (I think they've kept the same place) you can
find documentation on everything that comes with Red Hat systems.

RH 7.0's doco's are good enough but the web doco's maybe a little bit
more up to date (although don't quote me on that.)
