firewall that works with AL is Arno's

FYI

Arno's firewall scripts seems to work fine with AL 0.5

Off to using Peanut and Slackware, no hard feelings but I need my CD to burn, PDA and scanner to connect and arch won't do it.

Re: firewall that works with AL is Arno's

With Arch all the good stuff just seems to work . I prefer things simple:

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/firewall: start/stop firewall
#

if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then
    /usr/sbin/iptables -F
    /usr/sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
    /usr/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD DROP
    /usr/sbin/iptables -P INPUT DROP
    /usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -m state 
    --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
elif [ "$1" = "stop" ]; then
    killall -q /usr/sbin/iptables
else
    echo "usage: $0 start|stop"
fi

#End of file

Create the file as root, chmod 744, mv firewall /etc/rc.d/firewall, add firewall to the daemons array in rc.conf (before network) and there you go.

This is intented for a desktop and allows all outoing trafic and only incoming answers. It's short enough to type if you forgot to put your script on a disk and need to get a working configuration fast.
