IPChains

Hi all,

Sorry still fighting it out and learning quickly thanks to much help.

Regarding IPChains, how can you say only allow outgoing connections to
this port, and allow any incomming connections from this IP?

Thanks

David

Curious why you are using older applications. IPCHAINS were replaced
by iptables back in 1999.

http://www.iptables.org/documentation/HOWTO/

which gets you to Rusty Russell's site and seven very good HOWTOs. Then
there is

-rw-rw-r-- 1 gferg ldp 85507 Aug 20 2001 Firewall-HOWTO
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gferg ldp 113901 Jul 5 2000 IPCHAINS-HOWTO
-rw-rw-r-- 1 gferg ldp 278012 Jul 23 2002 Security-Quickstart-HOWTO

which should be on your system. Briefly, on your 'output' chain, you can
specify '-s source_address -d destination_address port_number' and your
input chain '-s source_address -d destination_address'.
