Topic: SME 5.6 port forwarding/ port opening UPDATE

[Jon Blakely]

Folks

I have discovered there is a problem with e-smith-packetfilter-1.13.0-07 which was installed with the port opening rpm. It does not allow ports to be forwarded when used in conjunction with dmc-mitel-portforwarding.

You will need to revert back to e-smith-packetfilter-1.13.0-04. You can download it at
http://www.khunjarnet.com/downloads/portopening-SME5.6-only/

then

# rpm -Uvh --force e-smith-packetfilter-1.13.0-04.noarch.rpm --nodeps
# /sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
# service masq restart

This will allow both port forwarding rpm and port opening rpm to work.

Jon,

If you use e-smith-portforwarding in conjunction with the e-smith-packetfilter upgrade, it will open the ports for you in addition to forwarding them (which, if you think about it, is the only logical thing to do in a portforwarding package). Look in Charlie Brady's contrib area.
