Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

It struck me that I had been using this and I had not setup the firewall. One small problem with this was I could not find how to setup the firewall. I used pSearch to find out how this was done but the only potentially useful result result I found was here https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=61619 in the old forum but looked very out of date.

Running './rc.firewall check'. Output will follow ...

-> Projectfiles.com Linux Firewall version 2.0rc9 running.
-> Performing sanity checks...... [ FAILED ]
-> FATAL: Could not find 'filter' table. Did you compile support for all necessary modules?

There was no reply to this and so proved not to be very useful.
I did try ufw status in a terminal but ufw was not recognised so I assumed that ufw was not being used.
Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to setup the firewall in FatDog64 901 Final.

Regards,

Ken.

@keniv, Fatdog64 FAQ answer #36 addresses firewall setup. There is a question mark icon on the Desktop, that's the FAQ index. In Fatdog64 the firewall is called eztables. In addition to the FAQ, you can also search this forum for "eztables" to find more answers to specific configuration cases.

Thanks for the above. "eztables" is now enabled and set to run at each reboot. In doing this I did also manage to enable "haveged". In service manager it says "Either run this or haveged-boot but not both". Haveged-boot is set to start at boot. Can you confirm that under these circumstances the haveged start at boot box should be unticked. Also is there a command like ufw status for eztables that would tell me if the firewall was enabled or not? I've tried eztables status and eztables --help without success. The output I get is shown below.

[# eztables status
Usage: /usr/sbin/eztables (start/stop)
# eztables --help
Usage: /usr/sbin/eztables (start/stop)

Regards,

Ken.

Yes, either enable haveged or haveged-boot but not both.
Try service eztables status

Thanks for confirming this.

Try service eztables status

Yep that worked. Below is the output from the terminal.

# service eztables status
eztables is running

Thanks again,
Ken.
