...can anyone tell me what is wrong...
 
This is what I do for the config for firewall
 
I am setting up a mail server inside the firewall with ports 25 and 110
 
Now My firewall is set up connecting to an internal network with the
mailserver inside that firewall
 
When I try to connect using port 25 I get a timeout error saying that
the respondant never answers
 
The Mail Server is SuSE MailServer.... and I can connect to the
interface from internally, but through the firewall it does not
connect....
 
# 1.)
# Should the Firewall be started?
#
# This setting is done in /etc/rc.config (START_FW="yes")

#
# 2.)
# Which is the interface that points to the internet?
#
# Enter all the network devices here which are untrusted.
#
# Choice: any number of devices, seperated by a space
# e.g. "eth0", "ippp0 ippp1"
#
FW_DEV_WORLD="eth0"
#
# You *may* configure a static IP and netmask to force rule loading even
if the
# interface is not up and running: set a variable called
# FW_DEV_WORLD_[device]="IP_ADDRESS NETMASK"
# see below for an example. Otherwise automatic detection is done.
# You will still need to set FW_DEV_WORLD first!
#
#FW_DEV_WORLD_ippp0="10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0" # e.g. for exernal
interface ippp0

#
# 3.)
# Which is the interface that points to the internal network?
#
# Enter all the network devices here which are trusted.
# If you are not connected to a trusted network (e.g. you have just a
# dialup) leave this empty.
#
# Choice: leave empty or any number of devices, seperated by a space
# e.g. "tr0", "eth0 eth1" or ""
#
FW_DEV_INT="eth1"
#
# You may configure a static IP and netmask to force rule loading even
if the
# interface is not up and running: set a variable called
# FW_DEV_INT_[device]="IP_ADDRESS NETMASK"
# see below for an example. Otherwise automatic detection is done.
# You will still need to set FW_DEV_INT first!
#
#FW_DEV_INT_eth0="192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0" # e.g. for internal
interface eth0

#
# 4.)
# Which is the interface that points to the dmz network?
#
# Enter all the network devices here which point to the dmz.
# A "dmz" is a special, seperated network, which is only connected to
the
# firewall, and should be reachable from the internet to provide
services,
# e.g. WWW, Mail, etc. and hence are at risk from attacks.
# See /usr/share/doc/packages/SuSEfirewall/EXAMPLES for an example.
#
# Special note: You have to configure FW_FORWARD_TCP and FW_FORWARD_UDP
to
# define the services which should be available to the internet and set
# FW_ROUTE to yes.
# Very special note: servers/networks in FW_MASQ_NETS may access the DMZ
to
# the same extent they are allowed to access the internet! No
FW_FORWARD_*
# needed ...
#
# Choice: leave empty or any number of devices, seperated by a space
# e.g. "tr0", "eth0 eth1" or ""
#
FW_DEV_DMZ=""
#
# You may configure a static IP and netmask to force rule loading even
if the
# interface is not up and running: set a variable called
# FW_DEV_INT_[device]="IP_ADDRESS NETMASK"
# see below for an example. Otherwise automatic detection is done.
# You will still need to set FW_DEV_DMZ first!
#
#FW_DEV_DMZ_eth1="192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0" # e.g. for dmz interface
eth1

#
# 5.)
# Should routing between the internet, dmz and internal network be
activated?
# REQUIRES: FW_DEV_INT or FW_DEV_DMZ
#
# You need only set this to yes, if you either want to masquerade
internal
# machines or allow access to the dmz (or internal machines, but this is
not
# a good idea). This option supersedes IP_FORWARD from /etc/rc.config!
#
# Setting this option one alone doesn't do anything. Either activate
# massquerading with FW_MASQUERADE below if you want to masquerade your
# internal network to the internet, or configure FW_FORWARD_TCP and/or
# FW_FORWARD_UDP to define what is allowed to be forwarded!
#
# Choice: "yes" or "no", defaults to "no"
#
FW_ROUTE="yes"

#
# 6.)
# Do you want to masquerade internal networks to the outside?
# REQUIRES: FW_DEV_INT, FW_ROUTE
#
# "Masquerading" means that all your internal machines which use
services on
# the internet seem to come from your firewall.
# Please note that it is more secure to communicate via proxies to the
# internet than masquerading
#
# Choice: "yes" or "no", defaults to "no"
#
FW_MASQUERADE="yes"
#
# Which internal computers/networks are allowed to access the internet
# directly (not via proxys on the firewall)?
# Only these networks will be allowed access and will be masqueraded!
#
# Please note this config changed in firewals-2.3: You may either use
just
# hosts/nets to allow all traffic from them to the internet, or use an
extended
# syntax, to restrict internet access to certain services!
#
# Choice: leave empty or any number of hosts/networks seperated by a
space.
# Every host/network may get a list of allowed services, otherwise
everything
# is allowed. A protocol and service is appended by a comma to the
host/network.
# e.g. "10.0.0.0/8" allows the whole 10.0.0.0 network with unrestricted
access
# "10.0.1.0/24,tcp,80 10.0.1.0/24,tcp,21" allows the 10.0.1.0 network to
use
# www/ftp to the internet. "10.0.1.0/24,tcp,1024:65535 10.0.2.0/24" is
OK too.
# You may NOT set this variable to "0/0" !
#
FW_MASQ_NETS="10.0.0.0/24"
#
# If you want (and you should) you may also set the FW_MASQ_DEV option,
to
# specify the outgoing interface to masquerade on. (You would normally
use
# the external interface(s), the FW_DEV_WORLD device(s), e.g. "ippp0")
#
FW_MASQ_DEV="$FW_DEV_WORLD" # e.g. "ippp0" or "$FW_DEV_WORLD"

#
# 7.)
# Do you want to protect the firewall from the internal network?
# REQUIRES: FW_DEV_INT
#
# If you set this to "yes", internal machines may only access services
on
# the machine you explicitly allow. They will be also affected from the
# FW_AUTOPROTECT_GLOBAL_SERVICES option.
# If you set this to "no", any user can connect (and attack) any service
on
# the firewall.
#
# Choice: "yes" or "no", defaults to "yes"
#
FW_PROTECT_FROM_INTERNAL="yes"

#
# 8.)
# Do you want to autoprotect all global running services?
#
# If set to "yes", all network access to services TCP and UDP on this
machine
# which are not bound to a special IP address will be prevented (except
to
# those which you explicitly allow, see below: FW_*_SERVICES_*)
# Example: "0.0.0.0:23" would be protected, but "10.0.0.1:53" not.
#
# Choice: "yes" or "no", defaults to "yes"
#
FW_AUTOPROTECT_GLOBAL_SERVICES="yes" # "yes" is a good choice

#
# 9.)
# Which services ON THE FIREWALL should be accessible from either the
internet
# (or other untrusted networks), the dmz or internal (trusted networks)?
# (see no.13 & 14 if you want to route traffic through the firewall)
#
# Enter all ports or known portnames below, seperated by a space.
# TCP services (e.g. SMTP, WWW) must be set in FW_SERVICES_*_TCP, and
# UDP services (e.g. syslog) must be set in FW_SERVICES_*_UDP.
# e.g. if a webserver on the firewall should be accessible from the
internet:
# FW_SERVICES_EXTERNAL_TCP="www"
# e.g. if the firewall should receive syslog messages from the dmz:
# FW_SERVICES_DMZ_UDP="syslog"
# For IP protocols (like GRE for PPTP, or OSPF for routing) you need to
set
# FW_SERVICES_*_IP with the protocol name or number (see /etc/protocols)
#
# Choice: leave empty or any number of ports, known portnames (from
# /etc/services) and port ranges seperated by a space. Port ranges are
# written like this, from 1 to 10: "1:10"
# e.g. "", "smtp", "123 514", "3200:3299", "ftp 22 telnet 512:514"
# For FW_SERVICES_*_IP enter the protocol name (like "igmp") or number
("2")
#
FW_SERVICES_EXTERNAL_TCP=""
FW_SERVICES_EXTERNAL_UDP=""
FW_SERVICES_EXTERNAL_IP="" # For VPN/Routing which END at the
firewall!!
#
FW_SERVICES_DMZ_TCP=""
FW_SERVICES_DMZ_UDP=""
FW_SERVICES_DMZ_IP="" # For VPN/Routing which END at the
firewall!!
#
FW_SERVICES_INTERNAL_TCP="ssh"
FW_SERVICES_INTERNAL_UDP=""
FW_SERVICES_INTERNAL_IP="" # For VPN/Routing which END at the
firewall!!

#
# 10.)
# Which services should be accessible from trusted hosts/nets on the
internet?
#
# Define trusted networks on the internet, and the TCP and/or UDP
services
# they are allowed to use.
#
# Choice: leave FW_TRUSTED_NETS empty or any number of computers and/or
# networks, seperated by a space. e.g. "172.20.1.1", "172.20.0.0/16"
#
FW_TRUSTED_NETS=""
#
# leave FW_SERVICES_TRUSTED_* empty or any number of ports, known
portnames
# (from /etc/services) and port ranges seperated by a space.
# e.g. "25", "ssh", "1:65535", "1 3:5"
#
FW_SERVICES_TRUSTED_TCP="" # Common: ssh
FW_SERVICES_TRUSTED_UDP="" # Common: syslog time ntp
FW_SERVICES_TRUSTED_IP="" # For VPN/Routing which END at the
firewall!!

#
# 11.)
# How is access allowed to high (unpriviliged [above 1023]) ports?
#
# You may either allow everyone from anyport access to your highports
("yes"),
# disallow anyone ("no"), anyone who comes from a defined port
(portnumber or
# known portname) [note that this is easy to circumvent!], or just your
# defined nameservers ("DNS").
# Note that if you want to use normal (active) ftp, you have to set the
TCP
# option to ftp-data. If you use passive ftp, you don't need that.
# Note that you can't use rpc requests (e.g. rpcinfo, showmount) as root
# from a firewall using this script (well, you can if you include range
# 600:1023 in FW_SERVICES_EXTERNAL_UDP ...).
#
# Choice: "yes", "no", "DNS", portnumber or known portname, defaults to
"no"
#
FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_TCP="no"
FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP="no"

#
# 12.)
# Are you running some of the services below?
# They need special attention - otherwise they won´t work!
#
# Set services you are running to "yes", all others to "no", defaults to
"no"
#
FW_SERVICE_DNS="no"
                  # (or "domain") set to allow incoming queries.
                  # also FW_ALLOW_INCOMING_HIGHPORTS_UDP needs to be
"yes"
FW_SERVICE_DHCLIENT="no" # if you use dhclient to get an ip address
                        # you have to set this to "yes" !
FW_SERVICE_DHCPD="no" # set to "yes" if this server is a DHCP server
FW_SERVICE_SAMBA="no" # set to "yes" if this server uses samba as
client
                  # or server. As a server, you still have to set
                  # FW_SERVICES_{WORLD,DMZ,INT}_TCP="139"
                  # Everyone may send you udp 137/138 packets if set
                  # to yes! (samba on the firewall is not a good idea!)

#
# 13.)
# Which services accessed from the internet should be allowed to the
# dmz (or internal network - if it is not masqueraded)?
# REQUIRES: FW_ROUTE
#
# With this option you may allow access to e.g. your mailserver. The
# machines must have valid, non-private, IP addresses which were
assigned to
# you by your ISP. This opens a direct link to your network, so only use
# this option for access to your dmz!!!!
#
# Choice: leave empty (good choice!) or use the following explained
syntax
# of forwarding rules, seperated each by a space.
# A forwarding rule consists of 1) source IP/net, 2) destination IP
(dmz/intern)
# and 3) destination port (or IP protocol), seperated by a comma (","),
e.g.
# "4.0.0.0/8,1.1.1.1,22" [means: net 4.0.0.0 with netmask 255.0.0.0 is
# allowed to connect to the single server 1.1.1.1 on port 22 (which is
SSH)]
# "4.4.4.4/12,20.20.20.20,22 12.12.12.12/12,20.20.20.20,22"
# For FW_FORWARD_IP it is "4.0.0.0/8,1.1.1.1,igmp" or
"4.0.0.0/8,1.1.1.1,1"
#
FW_FORWARD_TCP="66.13.54.181,10.0.0.102,25 66.13.54.181,10.0.0.102,110
66.13.54.181,10.0.0.102,143 66.13.54.181,10.0.0.102,80"
FW_FORWARD_UDP=""
FW_FORWARD_IP="" # Beware to use this!

#
# 14.)
# Which services accessed from the internet should be allowed to
masqueraded
# servers (on the internal network or dmz)?
# REQUIRES: FW_ROUTE, FW_MASQUERADE
#
# With this option you may allow access to e.g. your mailserver. The
# machines must be in a masqueraded segment and may not have public IP
addesses!
# Hint: if FW_DEV_MASQ is set to the external interface you have to set
# FW_FORWARD_* from internal to DMZ for the service as well!
#
# Please note that this should *not* be used for security reasons! You
are
# opening a hole to your precious internal network. If e.g. the
webserver there
# is compromised - your full internal network is compromised!!
#
# Choice: leave empty (good choice!) or use the following explained
syntax
# of forward masquerade rules, seperated each by a space.
# A forward masquerade rule consists of 1) source IP/net, 2) destination
IP
# (dmz/intern) and 3) destination port, seperated by a comma (","), e.g.
# "4.0.0.0/8,1.1.1.1,22",
# "4.4.4.4/12,20.20.20.20,22 12.12.12.12/12,20.20.20.20,22"
#
FW_FORWARD_MASQ_TCP="" # Beware to use this!
FW_FORWARD_MASQ_UDP="" # Beware to use this!
# it is not possible to masquerade other IP protocols, hence no _IP
variable

#
# 15.)
# Which accesses to services should be redirected to a localport on the
# firewall machine?
#
# This can be used to force all internal users to surf via your squid
proxy,
# or transparently redirect incoming webtraffic to a secure webserver.
#
# Choice: leave empty or use the following explained syntax of
redirecting
# rules, seperated by a space.
# A redirecting rule consists of 1) source IP/net, 2) destination
IP/net,
# 3) original destination port and 4) local port to redirect the traffic
to,
# seperated by a colon. e.g. "10.0.0.0/8,0/0,80,3128
0/0,172.20.1.1,80,8080"
#
FW_REDIRECT_TCP="0/0,10.0.0.102,25,25 0/0,10.0.0.102,110,110"
FW_REDIRECT_UDP=""

#
# 16.)
# Which logging level should be enforced?
# You can define to log packets which were accepted or denied.
# You can also the set log level, the critical stuff or everything.
# Note that logging *_ALL is only for debugging purpose ...
#
# Choice: "yes" or "no", FW_LOG_*_CRIT defaults to "yes",
# FW_LOG_*_ALL defaults to "no"
#
FW_LOG_DENY_CRIT="yes"
FW_LOG_DENY_ALL="no"
FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT="yes"
FW_LOG_ACCEPT_ALL="no"

# 17.)
# Do you want to enable additional kernel TCP/IP security features?
# If set to yes, some obscure kernel options are set.
# (icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses, icmp_echoreply_rate,
# icmp_destunreach_rate, icmp_paramprob_rate, icmp_timeexeed_rate,
# ip_local_port_range, log_martians, mc_forwarding, mc_forwarding,
# rp_filter, routing flush)
# Tip: Set this to "no" until you have verified that you have got a
# configuration which works for you. Then set this to "yes" and keep it
# if everything still works. (It should!) ;-)
#
# Choice: "yes" or "no", defaults to "yes"
#
FW_KERNEL_SECURITY="yes"

#
# 18.)
# Keep the routing set on, if the firewall rules are unloaded?
# REQUIRES: FW_ROUTE
#
# If you are using diald, or automatic dialing via ISDN, if packets need
# to be sent to the internet, you need to turn this on. The script will
then
# not turn off routing and masquerading when stopped.
# You *might* also need this if you have got a DMZ.
# Please note that this is *insecure*! If you unload the rules, but are
still
# connected, you might your internal network open to attacks!
# The better solution is to remove "/sbin/SuSEfirewall stop" or
# "/sbin/init.d/firewall stop" from the ip-down script!

#
# Choices "yes" or "no", defaults to "no"
#
FW_STOP_KEEP_ROUTING_STATE="no"

# 19.)
# Allow (or don't) ICMP echo pings on either the firewall or the dmz
from
