Hi all, I'm using the iptables config from: http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO//packet-filtering-HOWTO-5.html Now, when I try that, apparently KDE and GNOME both refuses to start -- do they run some kind of server and then connect to it? How can I fix this? (Worked fine on RH9; but apparently refuses to work on FC2). To make it easier to respond; the section I'm referring to is: --BEGIN QUOTE-- ## Insert connection-tracking modules (not needed if built into kernel). # insmod ip_conntrack # insmod ip_conntrack_ftp ## Create chain which blocks new connections, except if coming from inside. # iptables -N block # iptables -A block -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT # iptables -A block -m state --state NEW -i ! ppp0 -j ACCEPT # iptables -A block -j DROP ## Jump to that chain from INPUT and FORWARD chains. # iptables -A INPUT -j block --END QUOTE-- On Wed, 29 Sep 2004 23:24:41 -0700, TongKe Xue <tongke@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm using the iptables config from: > http://www.netfilter.org/documentation/HOWTO//packet-filtering-HOWTO-5.html > > Now, when I try that, apparently KDE and GNOME both refuses to start > -- do they run some kind of server and then connect to it?
