Well, it's really an iptables question. alfresco runs on tomcat which runs as an unprivileged user which makes it difficult to use as a CIFS server (massive understatement) so what I want to do is to redirect packets from unprivileged ports to the normal SMB ports...here is my iptables script (but it's not working as intended) #!/bin/sh # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward modprobe iptable_nat iptables -F iptables -t nat -F iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 192.168.3.8 --dport 445 -j REDIRECT \ --to-ports 1445 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 192.168.3.8 --dport 139 -j REDIRECT \ --to-ports 1139 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -d 192.168.3.8 --dport 137 -j REDIRECT \ --to-ports 1137 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -d 192.168.3.8 --dport 138 -j REDIRECT \ --to-ports 1138 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.3.8 --dport 1445 -j REDIRECT \ --to-ports 445 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.3.8 --dport 1139 -j REDIRECT \ --to-ports 139 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -s 192.168.3.8 --dport 1137 -j REDIRECT \ --to-ports 137 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -s 192.168.3.8 --dport 1138 -j REDIRECT \ --to-ports 138 suggestions?
