Hi, I'd like to prevent users from using POP3/IMAP other than via SSL. To do that I am attempting to use the firewall to close non-SSL POP3/IMAP ports. I am having trouble getting the firewall function to work properly. System: ISPConfig 2.2.40 running on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS configured as described in the Perfect Server Manual. I activated all services under Management > Server > Services, including Firewall which was initially OFF. On the Firewall tab I set the following configuration: Code: Name Port Type Active FTP 21 tcp no SSH 22 tcp yes SMTP 25 tcp yes DNS 53 tcp no DNS 53 udp no WWW 80 tcp yes ISPConfig 81 tcp yes POP3 110 tcp no IMAP2 143 tcp no SSL (www) 443 tcp yes Webmin 10000 tcp no IMAPS 993 tcp no However, when performing a port scan I am seeing 53, 110, 143 open. I have not seen any error messages. I am avoiding configuring a firewall separately because I do not want to interfere with ISPConfig. Does anyone have any hints? Is there another way to ensure that users can only use SSL to connect to email services? Thanks!

I am not sure how a correct setup needs to look like, but here are a few queries that I expect you would want to run: # find / | grep ipchains Code: /usr/share/Bastille/bastille-ipchains /sbin/bastille-ipchains Looking at the /sbin/bastille-ipchains file, it seems the errors are caused by an incorrect definition of the symbol '${IPCHAINS}'. The error lines seem to be using that symbol. E.g., line 232: Code: ${IPCHAINS} -P forward DENY It appears to be defined in line 42: Code: IPCHAINS=/sbin/ipchains Any clues? Thanks.
This worked, thank you very much. A post scan now shows only the expected open ports. However, I see this error message when doing "# /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall restart". Is this a reason for concern? Code: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found. FATAL: Module ip_conntrack not found. FATAL: Module ip_conntrack_ftp not found. FATAL: Module ipt_LOG not found. Setting up IP spoofing protection... done. Allowing traffic from trusted interfaces... done. Setting up chains for public/internal interface traffic... done. Setting up general rules... done. Setting up outbound rules... done. Now that I resolved this security concern, would you please have any pointers about the chroot setup question or should I better post that question on a different forum? Thanks heaps!

Ok. Great! I'll take a look at those messages at my own pace then. Thanks very much again for you help and for running the project! P.S. If you ever have time to provide a pointer on my chroot'ing question that has not been answered, it will be greatly appreciated!
