Set Up Ubuntu-Server 6.10 As A Firewall/Gateway

[knowram]

I am trying to follow this how to http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu6.10_firewall_gateway but I have only gotten to page 2 when you install webmin then I got this error

root@LBox:/home/jmunson# dpkg -i webmin_1.350_all.deb

dpkg: error processing webmin (--install):

I tried just installing the missing packages but that didn't seem to work. Any ideas??

Thanks for the help

So I was going to fast and missed that the step before that gave me this error

root@LBox:/home/jmunson# apt-get install libmd5-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl shorewall dnsmasq

Can you run

apt-get update

and try again?

[knowram]

okay i got past that part. now I am trying to set up the firewall. at the moment on am only using one interface to connect the linux box to my LAN. I added that interface to the interfaces and gave it the appropriate zone. now when i try to start the fire wall i get this error

If I try to access webmin after doing that i can't i have to stop the firewall
Not sure what i am looking for. Or what to do next.

Thanks for the help

[falko]

Have you stopped all other firewalls before starting this one? If so, what's the output of

iptables -L

now?

For webmin, you must open port 10000 in the firewall.

[knowram]

I don't have any other firewalls on my system that i know of unless there is a default that comes with ubuntu server.

The output of iptables -L is

Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpts:bootps:bootpc 
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpts:bootps:bootpc 

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            state RELATED,ESTABLISHED 
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpts:bootps:bootpc 
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpts:bootps:bootpc 

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere

The other thing i don't understand is what's the difference between /etc/shorewall/policy and the firewall section in webmin?

Thanks for the help

[falko]

Can you switch off Shorewall and reboot the system? What's the output of

iptables -L

then?

I'm not sure, but I think that webmin lets you configure Shorewall.

[knowram]

ok here is what it looks like with it off

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

[falko]

Ok, then there's no other firewall...

[knowram]

right i am only using the shorewall firewall. the question is how do i configure it so that it works properly? it looks to me like the shorewall/policy and what you do in webmin are two separated things. do you need both? is the /policy where you tell it witch interfaces to use the firewall on and then webmin is where you set up the firewall its self allowing certain ports to certain destinations etc..?

Any ideas?
