 ====== Firewall ======
+We originally went with [[http://pcxfirewall.sourceforge.net/|PCX Firewall]] on our test/development server, as James Pattie was most familiar with it. When we built the production servers, we decided to go with something more standard, so that others would be able to work with it later, if James isn't around. (And he wasn't around when we built the production servers.) So we decided to go with [[http://www.shorewall.net/|Shorewall]]. Shorewall also has the advantage that we don't need to provide the IP addresses of the system -- it determines them dynamically. So when we change IP addresses, we don't have to re-configure the firewall.
-===== Open Ports =====
+We currently aren't running a firewall on bock. Solaris 10 ships with IPF, but it has suffered from throughput problems, so we're leaving it off.
-These are the ports that we want to open up inbound:
+===== Requirements =====
+Shorewall doesn't seem to have any requirements, except ''iptables'', ''iproute'', and ''libatm1''.
+<code rootshell>
+apt-get install iproute iproute-doc libatm1
+</code>
+All we want from the firewall is basic host protection. (We don't do any routing, so we don't need to worry about packets going **through** the system.) We want to allow all outbound connections, and allow inbound connections to only the following ports:
   *  22 -- SSH
-  *  25 -- SMTP
+  *  25 -- SMTP (Bud only)
-  *  80 -- http
+  *  53 -- DNS (Bud only)
-  * 110 -- pop
+  *  80 -- HTTP
-  * 143 -- imap
+  * 110 -- POP (Bud only)
-  * 443 -- https
+  * 123 -- NTP (UDP)
-  * 993 -- imaps
+  * 143 -- IMAP (Bud only)
-  * 995 -- pops
+  * 443 -- HTTPS
-  * 10000 -- webmin (https)
+  * 993 -- IMAPS (Bud only)
+  * 995 -- POPS (Bud only)
+===== Installation =====
-===== Install Shorewall =====
+Install shorewall (and its documentation):
+<code rootshell>
+apt-get install shorewall shorewall-doc
+</code>
+===== Configuration =====
-Install shorewall (And its documentation):
+In ''/etc/default/shorewall'', set shorewall to run by changing the ''startup'' line:
-  apt-get install shorewall shorewall-doc
+<code rootshell>
+sed -i -e 's/startup=0/startup=1/' /etc/default/shorewall
+</code>
-===== Configure Shorewall =====
+Install default config files for systems with one interface:
+<code rootshell>
+cp -a /usr/share/doc/shorewall/examples/one-interface/* /etc/shorewall/
+cd /etc/shorewall/
+gunzip *.gz
+</code>
-In /etc/default/shorewall, set shorewall to run by changing this line:
+If the system has more than one interface, see the other directories of examples.
-  startup=1
-In /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf, set some configuration options:
+In ''/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf'', set some configuration options. Change the following lines:
-  LOGFILE=/var/log/shorewall.log
+<file>
-  LOGRATE=10/minute
+LOGFILE=/var/log/shorewall.log
-  LOGBURST=5
+LOGRATE=10/minute
-  IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
+LOGBURST=5
+</file>
-Install default config files for one interface:
+Edit ''/etc/shorewall/rules'' to add some rules to allow various ports inbound:
-  cd /tmp
+<file>
-  tar xfz /usr/share/doc/shorewall-doc/examples/one-interface.tgz
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 22
-  cp one-interface/* /etc/shorewall/
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 25
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 53
+ACCEPT net $FW udp 53
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 80
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 110
+ACCEPT net $FW udp 123
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 143
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 443
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 993
+ACCEPT net $FW tcp 995
+</file>
-Edit /etc/shorewall/rules to add some rules to allow various ports inbound:
+If the system has more than one interface, duplicate the same rules for each interface unless there is a reason to not do that.  In that case, document the purpose and restrictions for each interface, and why the rules are different.
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 22
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 25
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 80
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 110
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 143
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 443
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 993
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 995
-  ACCEPT net fw tcp 10000
-===== Start Shorewall =====
+===== Startup =====
 Start shorewall:
-  touch /var/log/shorewall.log
+<code rootshell>
-  /etc/init.d/shorewall start
+touch /var/log/shorewall.log
+/etc/init.d/shorewall start
+</code>
-Check that it's running:
+===== Testing =====
-  iptables -L -vn
+To check whether Shorewall is running, check what IP Tables are configured:
+<code rootshell>
+iptables -L -vn
+</code>
 This should show a large number of tables.
-If it's not running, check the /var/log/shorewall-init.log file.
+If Shorewall is not running, check the ''/var/log/shorewall-init.log'' file for details.
-===== PCX Firewall =====
+===== TODO =====
-The firewall was (originally) constructed with the PCXFirewall Toolkit available here:
+Can we restrict some ports to the local subnet?
- http://pcxfirewall.sourceforge.net/
-After determining list of services to be offered, a list of open ports was created. The following list enumerates that list.
-Admin instructions on how to access PCXFirewall
+Determine if our port list is correct for what we need open. We might want to open up additional ports for LMTP, SMTP w/ SSL, and SMTP w/ forced STARTTLS. Perhaps Squid caching and Rsync as well. We might want to remove Webmin and some of the other ports.
-  https://63.252.5.3/pcxfirewall/
-username -- admin
+Is Shorewall configured to start on boot at the proper time? Is there a window of time where the network starts up (and there are services running) before Shorewall is protecting the system?
-Firewall Config -- budlight1
+How can we back up our configuration on a regular basis?
-==== Budlight1 Definition ====
+How much ICMP do we block? How much do we want to block?
