I've just started to install a firewall and I cant seem to get SSH and webmin to work from another computer (although they work fine from localhost). I'm running Mandrake 8. First I just thought it was a problem with Bastille, so I uninstalled that and ipchains and still no luck.
Any ideas?

BTW i can ping and ftp into the firewall successfuly.

Not to ask a dumb question, but is the sshd running?
ps -aux | grep sshd
should tell you.
If not, run "setup" without the quotes, as root and there is an option there to start sshd upon booting. That may be a start. Let us know what you find out.

I don't know about SSH but in the default install of Webmin server access is only granted to the localhost (for security reasons). To change this edit the Webmin miniserv file located at: /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf

Add the IP address of the machines you want to access webmin from after the allow= statement.

Also make sure the is nothing in the /etc/hosts.deny file, this would also cause this problem.

Hope this helps! :)
