Shorewall

Posted Wednesday, 14th March 2007

With my adventures in playing with Asterisk I have found an application that is possibly even more confusing and difficult to set up. – Shorewall. I have to open up the ports on the firewall of the Ubuntu Server I installed to allow SIP connections on port 5060 and I assume later I’ll have to also allow IAX. For some unknown reason though, Ubuntu packages shorewall.conf into /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf on installation of the OS, not with the shorewall package. Somehow along the way I’ve deleted that file and now I can’t get it back. What a pain in the arse.

Luckily I have a dual-boot machine here in work so hopefully I can boot in to Ubuntu (with shiny Beryl installed on a dual-monitor set up!) and get another copy of the file from there…
