[Fwd: Re: [Shorewall-users] dns doesn't resolve]

[Gokcen Ogutcu]

hello again,

i couldn't find anything relevant with my problem in the quickstart
guide. it's telling that, i should enable port 53 for dns queries, but
my problem is diffrent. i'm not trying to connect the firewall to make
queries. firewalls itsself doesn't resolve when shorewall is up.
somebody help please, i don't want to be deprived of such a good program
because of a simple problem.

thanks,
gokcen

i've installed it from the rpm, i only enabled 10000 for webmin other
than the default settings that rpm generated.

Then I suggest that you start with

scapegoat:

My rules for dns usage are:

ACCEPT loc net tcp domain
ACCEPT loc net udp domain
ACCEPT fw net udp domain

and they work... the clients in my local network use a dns server in the
local network. First rules let this dns recurse to find sites and such
for web navigation. Second rule is for me, when I´m managing the firewall
via ssh.

hih,

Eduardo Ferreira

If you installed using the instructions in ANY of the QuickStart Guides,
you wouldn't be having this problem!

Name resolution from the firewall is enabled when you install the
appropriate sample configuration linked from the Quidkstart Guide that
applies to your configuration. If you haven't done that yet then please
do so.
