[Solved]Firewall logs?

[rh102801]

Hi, this is a 2 part question. I am doing some work trying to deploy NTP on the kiosk and am having some issues and want to confirm this is not a firewall problem....

Are there any logs in the kiosk related to the firewall where I can see if any traffic is being blocked?
How can I turn the firewall off for testing purposes without having to download an ISO from the Wizzard? I just want to modify my current iso, turn off the firewall to do a test and turn it back on when done.

Thanks

Hi,

I've been looking into customising the kiosk and hitting problems.. I came across this in a PDF about turning off the firewall.

c. You can completely disable the PKE firewall in:
/tmp/customkiosk/porteus/base/squashfsroot/etc/rc.d/rc.M
by placing a # in front of the following line:
[ x
/etc/rc.d/rc.FireWall ] && sh /etc/rc.d/rc.FireWall &

Hope this helps, sorry don't know anything about logs.

yes - please disable firewall in rc.M.
logging is not possible in kiosk as everything sits in RAM and it can't be filled fully.

Thanks this worked great and I was able to verify that the firewall is truly disabled by doing some ping tests which were failing earlier.


Thanks again
