I think by adding to the firewall -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth1 -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT (--dport 53 is the destination port of 53 (DNS)) as it seems from the iptables dump, DNS lookups are taking place on UDP.

Example: 'yum remove evolution' will remove the Ximian Evolution program (and everything that depends on it) from your system. It may be possible (I can't remember if it's only the FC1 Openoffice or the FC2 too) that Openoffice needs the Mozilla package to run, so you may have to keep it if you want to use Openoffice, but yum will tell you about every program it has to remove to satisfy the dependencies.

In addition, OpenSSH is no longer configured to request X11 forwarding by default when connecting to servers. To enable X11 forwarding, the -X or -Y option must be specified, or the ForwardX11 option must be enabled in the ~/.ssh/config file. The behavior of ssh clients that are invoked with the -X flag has changed. In OpenSSH 3.8 and later, X11 forwarding is performed in a way that applications run as untrusted clients by default. Previously, X11 forwarding was performed so that applications always ran as trusted clients. Some applications may not function properly when run as untrusted clients. To forward X11 so that applications are run as trusted clients, invoke ssh with the -Y flag instead of the -X flag, or set ForwardX11Trusted in the ~/.ssh/config file.

I can ping them from my NATed client but nslookup or dig could not connect. Then, I tried to log rejected packets in iptables on the NAT system and got those in /var/log/messages Nov 11 21:30:29 gate kernel: IN=eth1 OUT=eth0 SRC=x.x.x.x DST=80.83.47.157 \ LEN=58 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=37097 PROTO=UDP SPT=2027 \ DPT=53 LEN=38 Nov 11 21:30:29 gate kernel: IN=eth1 OUT=eth0 SRC=x.x.x.x DST=80.83.47.10 \ LEN=58 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=37100 PROTO=UDP SPT=2030 \ DPT=53 LEN=38 with x.x.x.x being my NATed client address. So, I added a rule in iptables that says -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT at the beginning of the RH-Firewall-1-INPUT chain and I have again access to the world :-) Is there a better way to do this ? I may add that this is my home network with 2 Macs and a Linux system and users are not a security risk, at least not deliberately.

Instructions are scheduled (ordered) optimally for P4, but no P4 specific instructions are used. As such it'll run just fine on < P4's. Recompiling will gain you a tiny percentage speed increase, but probably nothing noticable.

I'm getting this too (also a uk user). It looks like it's been happening for a while too (I don't get much mail on the yahoo account so I didn't miss it)! I downgraded back to version 2.8.5 and it appears to be working, so I think this will need to be taken up with the author.
