Hi, Could you also review the README.Debian please? apf-firewall for Debian ----------------------- On your first installation of APF it will come pretty bare in the way of preconfigured options, this is intentional. The most common issue with many firewalls is that they come configured with so many options that a user may never use or disable, that it leaves systems riddled with firewall holes. APF comes configured with only a single incoming port enabled by default and that is port 22 (SSH) The main APF configuration file is located at /etc/apf-firewall/conf.apf and has detailed usage information above all configuration variables. The file uses integer based values for setting configuration options and they are 0 = disabled 1 = enabled DEVEL_MODE ---------- This tells APF to run in a development mode which in short means that the firewall will shut itself off every 5 minutes from a cronjob. When you install any version of APF, upgrade or new install, this feature is by default enabled to make sure the user does not lock themself out of the system with configuration errors. Once you are satisfied that you have the firewall configured and operating as intended then you must disable it. When you are ready, you should edit /etc/default/apf-firewall and APF will start at boot. -- Giuseppe Iuculano <giuseppe@iuculano.it> Tue, 18 Aug 2008 11:21:41 +0200
