Firestarter script help ...

[Compunuts]

Well, I'm trying Firestarter without realizing that it's GUI based (mostly) and its CLI info is very limited in FAQs and MAN.

Is anyone running Firestarter? I'm running 1.0.3.

I need to allow ssh traffic on port 22 of my LAN side (Inbound?) and forward SSH request on port 443 of WAN side (odd port, I know, don't ask) to port 22 of WAN side. Also enable port 80 on WAN side for test sites. What script should I put in where?

This box does NOT have any GUI, purely CLI only.

TIA

P.S --> I thought I might as well give it a shot before going back to shorewall which is great on CLI. "firestarter --help" yield not much so far.

If it's altering your iptables, then take a look at my firewall script it might be the line:

      iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport $LOCAL_SSH_REDIRECT_PORT \
               -j REDIRECT --to-port 22

you're looking for.

Thanks dude ....

I have old config tables from shorewall but the problem with me and firestarter is I don't know where to put the script/tables in Firestarter and it seems document is medrocre at best for configuring firestarter with CLI.

But I will poke around some more. Thanks again.

Shorewall spooked and I'm sticking with Firestarter. And all my mouse misery is gone after ditching xdm and installing gdm. I searched far and wide to solve jumping-erritic-mouse-pointer problem but finally something got it right after installing gdm. I know it's not very technically sound but I'm happy all is working good now. Thanks anyway Redhead.
