Hi strange behaviour of iptables on a centos 7.0 machine: The following rule is in the iptables of said machine:
[root@myserver ~]# iptables -L -v -n --line-numbers |grep 175. 9 9 456 DROP all -- * * 175.44.0.0/16
0.0.0.0/0
[root@myserver ~]#
The corresponding enty in /etc/sysconfig/iptables looks like:
[root@myserver ~]# grep 175 /etc/sysconfig/iptables -A INPUT -s 175.44.0.0/16 -j DROP [root@myserver ~]#
The rule must be there since ages, because it has number 9 out of 76
similar rules.
Today, on the same machine (I rechecked it to make sure not to confound
machines), I see the following extract of the ftplog:
<snip> 175.44.4.127 2915 175.44.26.128 2021 175.44.26.138 1322 175.44.6.186 1290 175.44.24.88 1219 175.44.4.199 1212 </snip>
saying that from this IP addresse there have been this many connections
to the ftp server on that machine during the last two days, which means that the iptables haven't dropped the connection to the machine. As far as I know, the ftp server is behind the iptables. I also checked to see in man iptables, wheather the IP address is represented correctly.
What im I missing?
Please provide the full iptables listing as a snippet from one section is not useful.
Keep in mind iptables does not go by the most specific entry but rather the first matching rule hit.
If there are any rules prior to this drop that would permit the traffic then of course the traffic would be permitted.
Also 7.0? Please get that system updated asap as you are missing many important (and higher) issues being fixed. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Hi James
Thanks very much for your answer.
the full iptables list is in my reply to John.
But you are correct, I must update the system. This may fix the isssue.
