< li > Having an internet-accessible
server in your local network is like raising foxes
in the corner of your hen house. If the server is compromised,
there's nothing between that server and your other internal
systems. For the cost of another NIC and a cross-over cable,
you can put your server in a DMZ such that it is isolated
from your local systems - assuming that the Server can be
located near the Firewall, of course :-)< / li >
< li > The accessibility
problem is best solved using < a

(or using a separate DNS server for local clients) such that www.mydomain.com
resolves to 130.141.100.69 externally and 192.168.1.5 internally.
That's what I do here at shorewall.net for my local systems

2003-04-13 17:28:32 +02:00
< p align = "left" > < b > Answer: < / b > The common.def included with version 1.3.x
always rejects connection requests on TCP port
113 rather than dropping them. This is necessary
to prevent outgoing connection problems to services that
use the 'Auth' mechanism for identifying requesting users.
Shorewall also rejects TCP ports 135, 137 and 139 as well
as UDP ports 137-139. These are ports that are used by Windows
(Windows < u > can< / u > be configured to use the DCE cell locator
on port 135). Rejecting these connection requests rather than dropping
them cuts down slightly on the amount of Windows chatter on LAN
segments connected to the Firewall. < / p >

< p align = "left" > < b > Answer: < / b > NetFilter uses the kernel's equivalent of
syslog (see "man syslog") to log messages. It always uses the LOG_KERN (kern)

see "man syslog") in your < a href = "Documentation.htm#Policy" > policies< / a >
and < a href = "Documentation.htm#Rules" > rules< / a > . The destination for messaged
logged by syslog is controlled by /etc/syslog.conf (see "man syslog.conf").
When you have changed /etc/syslog.conf, be sure
to restart syslogd (on a RedHat system, "service syslog
restart"). < / p >

option (< a href = "Documentation.htm#Interfaces" > /etc/shorewall/interfaces< / a > )
on your external interface (eth0 in the above example). If they
get logged twice, they are corrupted. I solve this problem by using

< b > Answer: < / b > While most people associate
the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) with 'ping',
ICMP is a key piece of the internet. ICMP is used to report
problems back to the sender of a packet; this is what is happening
here. Unfortunately, where NAT is involved (including SNAT, DNAT
and Masquerade), there are a lot of broken implementations. That is

what you are seeing with these messages.< br >

Here is my interpretation of what is
happening -- to confirm this analysis, one would have to
have packet sniffers placed a both ends of the connection.< br >

Host 172.16.1.10 behind NAT gateway 206.124.146.179
sent a UDP DNS query to 192.0.2.3 and your DNS server tried
to send a response (the response information is in the brackets
-- note source port 53 which marks this as a DNS reply). When the
response was returned to to 206.124.146.179, it rewrote the destination
IP TO 172.16.1.10 and forwarded the packet to 172.16.1.10 who no longer
had a connection on UDP port 2857. This causes a port unreachable
(type 3, code 3) to be generated back to 192.0.2.3. As this packet
is sent back through 206.124.146.179, that box correctly changes the
source address in the packet to 206.124.146.179 but doesn't reset the
DST IP in the original DNS response similarly. When the ICMP reaches
your firewall (192.0.2.3), your firewall has no record of having sent
a DNS reply to 172.16.1.10 so this ICMP doesn't appear to be related
to anything that was sent. The final result is that the packet gets
logged and dropped in the all2all chain. I have also seen cases where
the source IP in the ICMP itself isn't set back to the external IP of
the remote NAT gateway; that causes your firewall to log and drop the
packet out of the rfc1918 chain because the source IP is reserved by RFC
1918.< br >

You can place these commands in one
of the < a href = "shorewall_extension_scripts.htm" > Shorewall Extension Scripts< / a > .
Be sure that you look at the contents of the chain(s) that you will be
modifying with your commands to be sure that the commands will
do what they are intended. Many iptables commands published in HOWTOs
and other instructional material use the -A command which adds the
rules to the end of the chain. Most chains that Shorewall constructs
end with an unconditional DROP, ACCEPT or REJECT rule and any rules
that you add after that will be ignored. Check "man iptables" and look
at the -I (--insert) command.< br >

The Shorewall web site is almost font neutral
(it doesn't explicitly specify fonts except on a few pages) so
the fonts you see are largely the default fonts configured in your
browser. If you don't like them then reconfigure your browser.< br >

In the SOURCE column of the rule, follow "net" by
a colon and a list of the host/subnet addresses as a comma-separated
