Re: Firewall Module - Forwarding

[Ahmed R. <ar...@ta...>]

Hi again,

I guess it depends much on what flavor of unix/linux
you're running.
I use module "Extended Internet Services" in tab "servers".
This configures xinetd, the so called "super-server".
I'm running this on several RedHat Liux distros,
but my home slackware 8.1 still uses the old inetd
that can not handle port forwarding.
If you're using inetd, you will need to dive into ipchains/iptables
port forwarding.

bye,

Ahmed.
