 Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2008 6:45 pm Post subject: Simple shorewall question [Solved] |
 |
|
Using shorewall for the first time.
Looking at the macros, I notice that macro.Ping contains:
| Code: | ###############################################################################
#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE ORIGINAL RATE USER/
# PORT PORT(S) DEST LIMIT GROUP
PARAM - - icmp 8 |
But when I consult /etc/services and IANA's web site, port 8 is unassigned and ICMP Echo is assigned port 7. So why doesn't this say "7" where it says "8"?
I'm novice with respect to networking, so I am hoping someone will explain this to me.

Yes, that's it. I just logged back in to delete my question, but you answered it already! 
From SHOREWALL-RULES( 5 ):
| Quote: | DEST PORT(S) (Optional) -- {-|port-name-number-or-range[,port-name-number-or-range]...}
Destination Ports. A comma-separated list of Port names (from services(5)), port numbers or port ranges; if the protocol is icmp, this column is interpreted as the destination icmp-type(s). |
I do appreciate the help. |
