11.1. Config /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall script file -Web Server

Errata:

Important

As i was giving the final look over on this book, Gerhard Mourani has released an errata for all firewall scripts and it is available here http://www.openna.com/books/errata.htm

This is the configuration script file for our Web Server. This configuration allows unlimited traffic on the Loopback interface, ICMP, DNS Caching and Client Server (53), SSH Server (22), HTTP Server (80), HTTPS Server (443), SMTP Client (25), FTP Server (20, 21), and OUTGOING TRACEROUTE requests by default.

If you don't want some services listed in the firewall rules files for the Web Server that I make ON by default, comment them out with a "#" at the beginning of the line. If you want some other services that I commented out with a "#", then remove the "#" at the beginning of those lines. Create the firewall script file, touch /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall on your Web Server and add:

Now, make this script executable and change its default permissions:


          [root@deep] /# chmod 700 /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall
          [root@deep] /# chown 0.0 /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall
          

Create the symbolic rc.d links for your Firewall with the following command:


          [root@deep] /# chkconfig --add firewall
          [root@deep] /# chkconfig --level 345 firewall on
          

Now, your firewall rules are configured to use System V init (System V init is in charge of starting all the normal processes that need to run at boot time) and it will be automatically started each time your server reboots. To manually stop the firewall on your system, use the following command:


          [root@deep] /# /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall stop
          

          Shutting Firewalling Services:                  [  OK  ]
          

To manually start the firewall on your system, use the following command:


          [root@deep] /# /etc/rc.d/init.d/firewall start
          

          Starting Firewalling Services:                  [  OK  ]
