7. Questions and Answers
This is just a collection of what I believe are the most common
questions people might have. Give me more feedback and I will turn
this section into a proper FAQ.
Why are the iptables rules not flushing out when a client closes
the telnet window? It works if the client logsout of the telnet
session. In case of ssh the rules get flushed even if the ssh
window is closed.
I have not come up with a good answer or solution to this problem.
Logu has contributed some modifications to pam_iptables and a set
of other tools to solve this problem. These tools can be found in
the contrib
directory with pam_iptables.
What does NoCat not work in IE6? It seems to authenticate but doesn't
write the firewal rule.
Make sure your nocat html contains the following:
< meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="$redirect" />
The html files that should contain this metatag are login_ok.html,renew.html, and renew_pasv.html.
