Hi all. I have a few users on my server who want to use u p&p capable applications like msn messenger and things. I am not enough of a linux expert to edit the ipchains rules manually to make this stuff work. was thinking of doing the following and would welcome comments.
I have a linksys router which will support up&p with windows xp clients which I could use to connect to the net, however, I am running mail, http, ftp https, and ssh on my sme 5.1.2 box. I know I can change the sme configuration to server only mode and place it with a static ip behind the other router. if I open the ports for the services I mentioned above and have them forwarded by the router to the private mode sme server, am I opening up lots of security holes? also, besides ports, 80, 25, 22, 443 and 21, are there others I need to forward from the router to the sme box? any comments would be appreciated.
thanks. brian.
