Topic: Port opening

There are a few suggestions posted in this thread:
Check if these run on sme7a5
http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/dmc-mitel-portopening-0.0.1-4.noarch.rpm

sme-6.0-masq-manager-0.1-2.noarch.rpm

This did not work on the SME 7.0 Alpha3 .. it adds the manager stuff but errors on create rule. a refresh shows the port is enabled but the port is actually closed. Removed RPM looking for next option.

or as Charlie suggests (amended slightly)
You can open the port or ports that your application needs by a simple custom template. If you happened to build an smeserver-application RPM to set up the application so it runs nicely in an SME server, then that RPM would contain the necessary code to open the port.

This is i guess going to be the best option for myself only issue is i have no idea how to create the custom template i am trying though.

You could enable & disable applications & services that use specific known ports, and then examine the before & after changes in config files, and then determine how to do it for different ports.

I have found the services file and viewed it. I wonder if i can just add the port details in the general section of that file?  10standard

Hi guys,
I hope i'm not sticking my neck out here but i've have found SME a solid firwall on it's own merit, so what's the use with all these hardware firwalls? They only complicate things. If anyone feels more secure beacause they have a hardware firewall forget it beacause at the end of the day including cisco firwalls there are all dedicated pc's running under some form of unix or linux to control access and believe me not much better than SME. You have all forgotten the ethos of SME Keep IT Simple!!!!

Jack

I think the real question is, "yet again" probably aimed at Charlie, or someone else with the knowledge:

How does one create the custom template to achieve opening of a port and what are the contents of the custom template fragment ?

Please, of course.

Charlie can you please help me with this issue.

wow thats almost a beg. lol

No really i think a result for this will help everyone.
