Last post was June 26, 2011, only last month? I don’t have a huge amount of time to spare these days, i maintain about 6-8 other blogs, check out http://blog.rimuhosting.com for more similar things (I often crosspost also)

Hi,

I was just wondering if you intend to still publish new content as the site appears untouched since last year.

Cheers
Tim

You might want to look at the hardlink tool by Jakub Jelinek ( https://fedorahosted.org/hardlink/browser/hardlink.c). This way you don’t need to delete anything.

If however you do want to delete the doubles entries you could do something like:

find . -type f -links +1 -printf “%i %p\n” | sort -n

are you able to email me the results of iptables -L -n ? or was this on a server that you did not have console one?
You probably shouldn’t change the interface, the outgoing packets will default to eth0 and there will be no rules allowing traffic in/out no doubt. I may change the script to allow multiple interfaces i think.

The script is default, the only change has been interface and/or ports. Everything else should run as normal. It doesn’t give errors, it prints the last line, but ends up locking the whole server, not just the interface. I was fortunate enough to have IPMI access.

Heya, at the top it shows the interface. It sets up the default rules to drop everything, then sets up allow rules for each other thing. If you munged something somewhere, the script does not get to run the second lot of rules allowing things, then it may do as you are describing.
Did you edit it in any way at all? maybe forget a quote or similar? does it give any errors? Would love to figure out and debug what the problem is.
I may edit it and make it not interface specific.

no prob, thanks liz. I have IPs aliased to eth0, due to networking. If they were eth1 or eth2, it works fine. When it’s eth0:1 it locks up. Because they’re aliased to eth0, could I just firewall that interface and it would filter traffic on all interfaces aliased to it?

It should work regardless of interface from memory, though I can’t be sure offhand. Will reply/update when I’m near a PC in a day or two

Hello, I was just wondering, how would this script be utilized on a server with multiple interfaces? I tried, it locked up the system. It seems I can do “eth0″, but if I have an interface as eth0:1 – it still locks.
