Greetings,
Any connections to localhost appear not to work:
{foo}(~)$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Can't assign requested address
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
My /etc/hosts file looks fine; this is the only mention of 127.0.0.1
in the file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.foo.ca foo2.foo.ca
(Real names and IP addresses have been obscured).
I use ipfw with default to deny. My rules:
00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00100 allow ip from 127.0.0.1 to any
00100 allow ip from 123.45.67.89 to 127.0.0.1
00100 allow ip from 123.45.67.89 to 123.45.67.89
00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 via fxp0
00300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any via fxp0
00400 allow ip from 123.45.67.89 to 123.45.67.0/24
00500 allow tcp from any to any established
00600 allow ip from any to any frag
...
The others are service-specific; I think the 0100 rules should allow
a local connection though, shouldn't they?
Any clues appreciated. Please CC: me your reply, as I'm
not a list subscriber.
Thanks,
Brent
