Seattle Firewall Version 3.2.2
Installing Seattle Firewall on the Coyote LRP
Distribution
These instructions assume that you already have a
working Coyote disk. If you need Coyote, see http://www.coyotelinux.com.
Special thanks go to theadmin for
helping me debug the original faulty instructions.
- Download the Seattle
Firewall Coyote LRP file.
- Rename the file seawall.lrp and
copy it to your Coyote boot disk.
- Reboot and log in as root.
- If lrcfg running, then stop it (enter
"q").
- Edit /etc/coyote/packages and add seawall
to the bottom of the list.
- With your boot disk in your floppy drive, type
"mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt".
- At the linux prompt type "cd /"
- At the linux prompt type "zcat
/mnt/seawall.lrp | tar -x"
- At the linux prompt type "umount /mnt"
- Start lrcfg and chose the b option to back up your
changed configuration.
- When the backup completes, reboot your system.
- You can now configure Seattle Firewall as
described in the configuration
documentation . For a Coyote setup,
you probably won't have to make changes other than those
mentioned here to get things working. (Don't worry right
now if your LRP box won't communicate with other
systems.)
- To edit the various configuration files, start lrcfg
if it isn't already running and select Package
Settings (menu item 3), seawall
(menu item 3 on my Coyote system)
and then the number corresponding to the file that you
wish to edit. (If you don't see seawall
in the list of packages, then you
didn't correctly edit /etc/coyote/packeges in step 5.)
- The first seawall menu
item, Config,
edits the file /etc/seawall.conf. Check to make sure that
the network devices correspond to those selected in the
lrcfg Network settings/Network
Configuration (menu item numbers
1-1). For Coyote, the usual seawall.conf values are internet="eth0"
(same as the Coyote IF_INET
variable) and local="eth1"
(same as the Coyote IF_LOCAL
variable.)
- To see the effect of your changes, you do not
need to reboot -- just type seawall
restart at the Linux prompt. Try
the command seawall monitor to
see an ongoing report on Seawall's operation. You can
terminate the monitoring with ctrl-C.
- Once you have the firewall working, be sure to
save the RAMdisk copies of the Seattle Firewall
configuration files to your boot floppy. To do this from
the main lrcfg
menu, type b.
