On installation I selected the "medium" firewall option, and allowed
incoming ssh.  I have done this with both the text and the graphic
installation.  The chains that get setup are (ipchains -L -n):
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
target     prot opt     source                destination           ports
ACCEPT     udp  ------  199.99.226.3         0.0.0.0/0             53 ->  
*
ACCEPT     udp  ------  199.99.226.3         0.0.0.0/0             53 ->  
*
ACCEPT     udp  ------  199.99.226.3         0.0.0.0/0             53 ->  
*
ACCEPT     tcp  -y----  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             * ->  
22
ACCEPT     all  ------  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             n/a
ACCEPT     all  ------  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             n/a
DENY       tcp  -y----  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             * ->  
0:1023
DENY       tcp  -y----  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             * ->  
2049
DENY       udp  ------  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             * ->  
0:1023
DENY       udp  ------  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             * ->  
2049
DENY       tcp  -y----  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             * ->  
6000:6
009
DENY       tcp  -y----  0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0             * ->  
7100
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):
Chain output (policy ACCEPT):

Note the 'ACCEPT all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0' lines *before* any of the deny
items.  This accepts all incoming packets


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.perform install
2.choose "medium" firewall
3.allow ssh connects
(This is the only senario I have tested)
	

Actual Results:  see description.

Expected Results:  The chains should not be accepting all packets.  At a
minimut the 'ACCEPT all' lines should not be there.

What does your /etc/resolv.conf look like?

Comment 2 John Keener 2001-03-24 17:45:20 EST

--------resolv.conf------------
nameserver 199.99.226.3
-----end resolv.conf

Comment 3 John Keener 2001-03-24 18:10:07 EST

ipchains -L -n          hides one important piece of information -- the
interface.  The ACCEPT lines are actually limited to the lo and eth1 interfaces:

... 
   6   420 ACCEPT     all  ------ 0xFF 0x00  lo    0.0.0.0/0           
0.0.0.0/0             n/a
16554 2483K ACCEPT     all  ------ 0xFF 0x00  eth1  0.0.0.0/0           
0.0.0.0/0             n/a
...
