Topic: Allowable IP

[Brando]

How would I be able to allow an External IP through E-smith to another workstation in the network.

I.E.  Outside Computer requesting connection to 209.1.2.3 -->E-smith (207.1.2.3)
--> Goes to computer that has IP 209.1.2.3 (and also 192.1.1.5)

I read through http://www.e-smith.org/custom/ but I dont' see how it pretains to my situation?!?

Any direction would be great.

Question 2: FTP - I have set ftp in E-smith to be private yet it still allows access for anonymous. How would i be able to stop this?

For your first question I would probably suggest installing and using ipmasqadm. Then you could forward ports. I dont know how you want the outside computer to be able to "talk" to the other computer so I cant be specific.

Your second question is a pretty easy fix. If you edit the file /etc/hosts.allow you will see that ftp is set for ALL. Just change that to your local ip mask. You will see other examples of that in the file.
