RE: [Wlug] OS X Firewall? (#2)

Easier way ;-) 1) Login 2) Open a terminal 3) run "sudo passwd" 4) type in your password 5) give root a new password To items of note: 1) My Mac OS has been much happier since I starting installing software at an administrator rather than as root. I am not sure why this is, but I have heard similar stories from other people. 2) You probably have to be an administrator to use sudo. -Adam On Sun, 20 Oct 2002, Skip Gaede wrote: > My daughter has an iMac, and we managed to bring it up single user and > change the root password.

OS X firewall ?

by Richard Goodman

I put the question to the list because I think its related enough to be of interest. My wife just got a top-of-the-line iBook with OS X from school. Connects to the network at school instantly as it should. (I am brand new on OS X) At home I run an network based on a RH7.0 box with IpMasq and some servers going to a static-IP DSL line. About 10 machines, mixed Win and Mac, mixed static and DHCP. When she starts up the iBook: a) the DHCP server on the Linux box shows the normal DHCPREQUEST and DHCPACK lines. b) the Network panel on the iBook shows all the values I would expect to have been handed off by DHCP, 192.168.1.x IP, 255.255.255.0 mask, 192.168.1.1 gateway c) but unable to connect to the internet I found "Terminal" and was able to: d) ping the linux box e) do a nslookup against the name server on the linux box, resolving outside domain names f) bring up web pages running on the Apache server on the linux box But I don't seem to be able to get outside I thought the first thing to try would be to disable the IP Firewall that's being started on the iBook, but haven't been able to figure out how (or where its files are). BTW I run a fairly strict firewall on the linux box and the log shows no hits related to the iBook attempting to get outside. Or I could be totally off base, in which case I would be open to other avenues towards fixing this. Less related: There is an Apple Select 360 appletalk laserwriter on the network, connected thru an Asante appletalk/ethernet bridge which my wife has used with her G3. She can select it through the chooser on the iBook, and we can read and set printer config info, but although everything appears normal when printing for an application in OS9 classic, nothing gets to the printer (and no blinking green light indicating data transfer).

I would run a packet sniffer (ethereal, tcpdump, etc) on the Linux box and see what the iBook is putting out. To look at the firewall settings though (at least in 10.2.x): System Preferences -> Sharing -> Firewall You can also use the BSD standard ipfw, although I haven't used it at all so ... It looks like "ipfw list" will tell you what you want as well. For me (I don't use the firewall on my TiBook) it's wide open: felicity% sudo ipfw list 65535 allow ip from any to any -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "... you are a very evil man. Evil, evil, evil...

I'm confused, why would you change distributions, just to try and get USB working? This is mostly functinality provided by the kernel: just upgrade your kernel. WRT usb, you may need to play around with hotplug, etc...which may require package upgrades. In most cases, getting new hardware support does not require upgrading your distribution (not counting video in X :), but instead requires upgrading your kernel. -- Josh Huber
