      That's the "tables is turned off" output.

      See, I think that is semantics.

      tables is turned on, but accepting everything.

      Because you don't have to issue any commands, simple add something to iptables

        yep, I'm sure IF the following is correct and the firewall is not enabled by default as mentioned below.

        @travisdh1 said in BRRABill's Field Report With Linux:

        Wait... Ubuntu.... and more crazy Ubuntu type things. I don't think they enable the firewall by default. They say "Just don't run a service you don't need." instead, don't they?

        I think maybe what @travisdh1 meant was that it is enabled, but be default allows everything.

        Hence, it seeming like it's not actually firewalling anything.

        @travisdh1 ???

        And where are all the Ubuntu experts here on ML???

        Ubuntu does things so odd compared to the rest of the ecosystem (ufw), that many of us only touch it if when we have no other choice.

          I is! I was so confused when I first ran into this.

            It seems to be a very common choice for many things, though. Even here at ML (such as XO).

              Yes, because it's what the devs use instead of a sane environment (Debian, CentOS). Running things on a different distribution when the devs don't know what's broken is a pain, and huge time sink.

                Another interesting tidbit...

                I couldn't get it to stick on reboots with my other install, but it now seems to be sticking.

                Uh, Linux. Er, Ubuntu.

                  Today's Question...

                  When setting up a static IP, do you need the "network" and "broadcast" entries?

                  auto eth0
                  iface eth0 inet static
                  address 192.168.1.100
                  netmask 255.255.255.0
                  network 192.168.1.0
                  broadcast 192.168.1.255
                  gateway 192.168.1.1
                  dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1

                    I have never had any issues not putting them in... But make sure you understand what they are at a bare minimum... Bonus points if you know how to calculate them. 😄

                      Don't need. It is just good practice.

                            I recall when I learned how to calculate it - for a while I just assumed anyone higher than me on the IT food chain must know this stuff - boy was I wrong.

                              I know, right? The only reason I remember is because my CCNA prof made sure we knew how to do subnet calculations on paper from day one.

                                I learned it when I was self learning Windows NT stuff. My company at the time was all Windows 3.1 and a bit Windows 95 with Netware on the servers. For some reason I really like NT 4.0 and bought some books and started learning.

                                  Out of all the Microsoft Server versions I've used over the years, 2000 was my favorite with NT4.0 only falling out of the favorite slot because of the tiny boot partition, even at that time 2GB was kinda small.

                                    Yeah, this was stuff that I was expected to know to get my first IT job. How the heck did anyone working in IT already not know it! And yet... they didn't.

                                      I have never had any issues not putting them in... But make sure you understand what they are at a bare minimum... Bonus points if you know how to calculate them. 😄

                                      Bah, that's why we have the interwebs

                                      That's also why it's bonus points if you know how to calculate it. 😄

                                      I recall when I learned how to calculate it - for a while I just assumed anyone higher than me on the IT food chain must know this stuff - boy was I wrong.

                                      I know, right? The only reason I remember is because my CCNA prof made sure we knew how to do subnet calculations on paper from day one.

                                      I learned it when I was self learning Windows NT stuff. My company at the time was all Windows 3.1 and a bit Windows 95 with Netware on the servers. For some reason I really like NT 4.0 and bought some books and started learning.

                                      Out of all the Microsoft Server versions I've used over the years, 2000 was my favorite with NT4.0 only falling out of the favorite slot because of the tiny boot partition, even at that time 2GB was kinda small.

                                      I still prefer NT4 by far. 2000 was actually my least favourite.

                                          I liked NT4 as a desktop, but I know that @art_of_shred liked the Windows 2000 desktop more than XP. I preferred both NT4 and XP, though.

                                            Yes, I did the same thing. I moved to Windows 2000 as fast as possible. Win9x was so unstable...
