Bridging
Has anyone played with iptables bridging under either 2.4 or 2.6 kernels?
I'm working with a client that has an exceptionally persistant hacker,
and I want to use a honeywall bridge to isolate and track the machine
he's been after for weeks. The rc.firewall script that sets up bridging
just doesn't work for 2.6, and I'm not sure why. It all *appears* to work,
but nothing actually passes the bridge, although you can see the traffic on
both NICs from the bridge box itself. The 2.4 kernels work for bridging,
but it doesn't seem to respect the logging directives, so the packets
are never logged. I'm doing this all remotely, so when I screw up, it means
someone either flushing the tables, or rebooting the box.
