I'd like to set up ipchains so that no on can connect to my dialup computer at all except for identd (for IRC). I read the Firewall and IPCHAINS howtos, as well as the ipchains man page, and it looks like the following lines should do what i want: ipchains -P input DENY ipchains -I input -p all -s localhost -j ACCEPT ipchains -I input -p icmp -j ACCEPT ipchains -I input -p tcp --dport 113 -j ACCEPT Unfortunately, they don't. After dialing up my ISP, i can't do anything with the connection unless the default input setting is ACCEPT. I made sure output was set to ACCEPT, but it still doesn't work. I can't download mail, can't connect to web sites, etc. What am i doing wrong? -- Eric Gillespie, Jr. <*> epg@pobox.com "Let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy.
