How Open Firewall Ports?

[txema75]

Hello. I´m new in porteus 3.1 64bits, and i have a problem with firewall.
When this is active, mail program (trojitá) don´t connect. Also occurs with p2p program (amule). I have to turn off the firewall to run this. :oops
I need help to open the apropiate ports in porteus firewall rules to these programas

Thanks in advance

try edit firewall script with su

Code: Select all

gksu "mousepad /etc/rc.d/rc.Firewall"

then find line "ALLOWED_PORTS" and add the port you want to open here. for example 7234

Code: Select all

ALLOWED_PORTS="20 21 22 25 80 110 143 443 7234"

save it and restart the firewall:

Code: Select all

gksu "/etc/rc.d/rc.Firewall stop"
gksu "/etc/rc.d/rc.Firewall start"

but this setting won't load in next always fresh mode
You can try to create module for your applications, which I more recomended, so it will be able even if in always fresh mode.

Many Thanks Nergal
I tried it but I get this error message

(gksu:2261): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
GConf Error: No D-BUS daemon running

I see the path where the firewall file is and edit it with kwrite, but will not let me save changes

Thanks for the help

You need to run this command as guest, not root.
If running it as root just leave out the gksu part.

Thanks again
I have also tried as a guest. A window appears and asks for administrative authentication permision (root?) and gives me this error with password "toor"

guest@porteus:~$ gksu "mousepad /etc/rc.d/rc.Firewall"
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
sh: mousepad: no se encontró la orden

with password "guest" appears new error windows

Failed to run mousepad /etc/rc.d/rc.Firewall as user root.

Failed to communicate with gksu-run-helper.

Received:

su: se produjo un fallo en la autenticación

While expecting:
gksu: waiting
