How do I tell my iptables-based firewall to allow Amanda through?

Chapter 19. Amanda FAQ
Use something like iptables -A INPUT -p udp -s $AMANDA_SERVER -d $AMANDA_CLIENT --dport 10080 -j ACCEPT and load the ip_conntrack_amanda kernel module. I use the following in /etc/modprobe.conf: options ip_conntrack_amanda master_timeout=2400 install ip_tables /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install ip_tables && /sbin/modprobe ip_conntrack_amanda This sets the UDP timeout for Amanda packets to 2400 seconds, up from the default 300 (don't hold me to that, it might be 600).

Is the produced iptables firewall optimized?

FireHOL, Frequently Asked Questions
You have to understand that FireHOL is a generic tool. As such, you gain something and you loose something. Except the fact that all FireHOL configuration rules take one iptables chain (that is one "jump") the produced rules are fully optimized. In many cases, this "jump" optimizes the firewall even further (for example in interface and router statements), while in other cases the "jumps" could be moved to a place where they are really necessary (it is not possible to avoid them).

Will you or Amanda be reviewing other shows?

Frequently Asked Questions about NYPD Blue
Sorry, but no. Our lives are both much busier than they were when we each began this job, and the last few years, we've been barely able to squeeze in some reviewing time out of loyalty and a desire to finish what we started. In an ideal world, Amanda would move on to reviewing "Deadwood" and I'd be writing up "The Wire" (or vice versa), but jobs and families have to take precedence now.

Why do you allow anyone to tell you a home is for sale?

Zillow - Search Questions
Allowing anyone to tell us a home is for sale may seem a bit unusual, but it's really not. Think of a bulletin board at a community center that has information posted on it about babysitting services, homes for sale, and apartments for rent.

How do I use iptables / kernel 2.4.x and RCF?

RCF Frequently Asked Questions
RCF doesn't support iptables yet. Not to worry, ipchains will be supported for quite some time in the 2.4 kernels. (Refer to netfilter.filewatcher.org/unreliable-guides/packet-filtering-HOWTO/index.html) RCF will be ported to iptables eventually, but since defining a firewall with iptables is a far more complex matter than with ipchains, don't expect a reliable version (of any firewall for that matter) to come out soon. To use RCF with a 2.4 kernel you need to compile support for ipchains.
