              Notes

                     Matches all traffic (all protocols, ports,  etc.).   Note  that  to  provide
                     “connections in one direction with replies” semantics, the kernel connection
                     tracker is still used: this will therefore still not match packets  if  they
                     are  not  understood  as  part  of  a  connection (e.g. some ICMPv6 packets,
                     requests and replies taking different  routes,  complex  protocols  with  no
                     helper loaded).

                     This  service  may indirectly setup a set of other services, if they require
                     kernel modules to be loaded.  The following complex services are activated:

   service: amanda
       Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver
              Service Type:

              • simple

              Server Ports:

              • udp/10080

              Client Ports:

              Netfilter NAT Modules

              • nf_nat_amanda          CONFIG_NF_NAT_AMANDA         (http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-

                (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Maryland_Automatic_Network_Disk_Archiver)

   service: any
       Match all traffic (without modules or indirect)
              Example:

                       server any *myname* accept proto 47

              Service Type:

              • simple

              Server Ports:

              • all

              Client Ports:

              • all

              Notes

                     Matches  all  traffic  (all  protocols, ports, etc), but does not care about
                     kernel modules and does not  activate  any  other  service  indirectly.   In
                     combination  with  the  firehol-params(5)  this  service  can  match unusual
                     traffic (e.g. GRE - protocol 47).

                     Note that you have to supply your own name in addition to “any”.

   service: anystateless
       Match all traffic statelessly
              Example:

                       server anystateless *myname* accept proto 47

              Service Type:

              • complex

              Server Ports:

              • all

              Client Ports:

              • all

              Notes

                     Matches all traffic (all protocols, ports, etc), but  does  not  care  about
                     kernel  modules  and  does  not  activate  any other service indirectly.  In
                     combination with  the  firehol-params(5)  this  service  can  match  unusual
                     traffic (e.g. GRE - protocol 47).

                     This  service  is  identical  to  “any” but does not care about the state of
                     traffic.

                     Note that you have to supply your own name in addition to “anystateless”.

   service: apcupsd
       APC UPS Daemon
              Example:

                       server apcupsd accept

              Service Type:

              • simple

              Server Ports:

              • tcp/6544

              • [Wikipedia][WIKI-apcupsd]

              Notes

                     This service must be defined as “server apcupsd accept” on all machines  not
                     directly connected to the UPS (i.e. slaves).

                     Note  that  the port defined here is not the default port (6666) used if you
                     download and compile APCUPSD, since the default conflicts with IRC and  many
                     distributions (like Debian) have changed this to 6544.

                     You can define port 6544 in APCUPSD, by changing the value of NETPORT in its
                     configuration file, or overwrite this FireHOL service definition  using  the
                     procedures described in Adding Services in firehol.conf(5).  [HOME-apcupsd]:

              Notes

                     The full syntax is:

                     subcommand custom name svr-proto/ports cli-ports action params

                     This service is used by FireHOL to allow you create rules for services which
                     do not have a definition.

                     subcommand, action and params have their usual meanings.

                     A  name must be supplied along with server ports in the form proto/range and
                     client ports which takes only a range.

                     To define services with the built-in extension mechanism to avoid  the  need
                     for custom services, see Adding Services in firehol.conf(5).

              Notes

                     The dhcp service is implemented as stateless rules.

                     DHCP clients broadcast to the network (src 0.0.0.0 dst  255.255.255.255)  to
                     find  a  DHCP  server.   If  the  DHCP  service  was  stateful  the iptables
                     connection tracker would not match the packets and deny to send the reply.

                     Note that this change does not affect the security of either DHCP servers or
                     clients,  since only the specific ports are allowed (there is no random port
                     at either the server or the client side).

                     Note also that the “server dhcp accept” or  “client  dhcp  accept”  commands
                     should  placed  within  interfaces that do not have src and / or dst defined
                     (because of the initial broadcast).

                     You can overcome this problem by placing the  DHCP  service  on  a  separate
                     interface,  without  a  src  or  dst  but  with a policy return.  Place this
                     interface before the one that defines the rest of the services.

                     For example:

                     policy return

                     server dhcp accept

                     client all accept

              Notes

                     From RFC 1812 section 9.1.2:

                     In many cases, BOOTP clients and their associated  BOOTP  server(s)  do  not
                     reside  on  the same IP (sub)network.  In such cases, a third-party agent is
                     required to transfer BOOTP messages between clients and  servers.   Such  an
                     agent  was  originally referred to as a BOOTP forwarding agent.  However, to
                     avoid confusion with the IP forwarding function of a router, the name  BOOTP
                     relay agent has been adopted instead.

                     For  more  information  about  DHCP  Relay  see  section  9.1.2  of RFC 1812
                     (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1812.txt)   and   section   4   of   RFC    1542

              Notes

                     The  dhcp  service is implemented as stateless rules.  It cannot be stateful
                     as the connection tracker will not match a  unicast  reply  to  a  broadcast
                     request.   Further,  if  you  wish  to add src/dst rule parameters, you must
                     account for both the broadcast and link-local network prefixes.

                     Clients broadcast  from  a  link-local  address  to  the  multicast  address
                     ff02::1:2  on  UDP  port  547  to find a server.  The server sends a unicast
                     reply back to the client which listens on UDP port 546.

                     For a FireHOL interface, creating a client will allow sending  to  port  547
                     and receiving on port 546.  Creating a server allows sending to port 546 and
                     receiving on port 547.

                     Unlike DHCP for IPv4, the source ports to be used are not defined in  DHCPv6
                     -  see  section  5.2 of RFC3315 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3315.txt).  Some
                     servers are known to make use of this  to  send  from  arbitrary  ports,  so
                     FireHOL does not assume a source port.

                     This  service  implicitly  sets  its  client or server to ipv6 mode.  [WIKI-

                     The linux connection tracker  ensures  that  ICMPv6  errors  are  marked  as
                     RELATED.   Since 3.0.0, these are automatially accepted by FireHOL, making a

              Notes

                     IPv6 uses Multicast Listener Discovery to discover multicast  listeners  and
                     what they are listening for.

                     In  practice  all IPv6 nodes are multicast listeners since multicast is used
                     in the neighbour discovery protocol which replaces ARP in IPv4.

                     These rules are stateless since reports can happen automatically as well  as
                     on query.

                     Unless  muticast  snooping  is  disabled  across  the network, MLD should be
                     enabled for any clients:

                     client ipv6mld accept

                     MLD should also be enabled as a server on any hosts acting as a router:

                     server ipv6mld accept

                     The rules should generally not be used to pass  packets  across  a  firewall
                     (e.g. in a router definition) unless the firewall is for a bridge.

                     This  service  implicitly  sets  its  client or server to ipv6 mode.  [WIKI-

              Notes

                     IPv6 uses the Neighbour Discovery Protocol to do automatic configuration  of
                     routes  and  to  replace  ARP.   To  allow  this  functionality  the network
                     neighbour and router solicitation/advertisement messages should  be  enabled
                     on each interface.

                     These  rules  are  stateless since advertisement can happen automatically as
                     well as on solicitation.

                     Neighbour discovery (incoming) should always be enabled:

                     server ipv6neigh accept

                     Neighbour advertisement (outgoing) should always be enabled:

                     client ipv6neigh accept

                     The rules should not be used to pass packets across a  firewall  (e.g. in  a

                     LPD is documented in RFC 1179 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1179.txt).

                     Since  many  operating  systems incorrectly use the non-default client ports
                     for LPD access, this definition allows any client port to access the service
                     (in  addition  to  the  RFC  defined  721  to  731  inclusive).  [WIKI-lpd]:

                     Direct Hosted (i.e. NETBIOS-less SMB)

                     This  is  another  NETBIOS  Session  Service  with  minor  differences  with
                     netbios_ssn.   It  is  supported  only by Windows 2000 and Windows XP and it
                     offers the advantage of being independent of WINS for name resolution.

                     It seems that samba supports transparently this protocol on the  netbios_ssn
                     ports,  so  that  either  direct  hosted  or  traditional  SMB can be served
                     simultaneously.

                     See also the samba.

                     Please  keep  in  mind  that  newer  NETBIOS  clients prefer to use port 445
                     (microsoft_ds) for the  NETBIOS  session  service,  and  when  this  is  not
                     available they fall back to port 139 (netbios_ssn).  Versions of samba above
                     3.x bind automatically to ports 139 and 445.

                     If you have an older samba version and your policy on an interface or router
                     is  DROP,  clients  trying  to  access  port 445 will have to timeout before
                     falling back to port 139.  This timeout can be up to several minutes.

                     To overcome this problem you can explicitly REJECT the microsoft_ds  with  a
                     tcp-reset message:

              Notes

                     The NFS service queries the RPC service on the NFS server host to  find  out
                     the ports nfsd, mountd, lockd and rquotad are listening.  Then, according to
                     these ports it sets up rules on all the supported protocols (as reported  by
                     RPC) in order the clients to be able to reach the server.

                     For this reason, the NFS service requires that:

                     • the firewall is restarted if the NFS server is restarted

                     • the  NFS server must be specified on all nfs statements (only if it is not
                       the localhost)

                     Since NFS queries the remote RPC server, it is required to also  be  allowed
                     to  do  so,  by allowing the portmap too.  Take care that this is allowed by
                     the running firewall when FireHOL tries to query the  RPC  server.   So  you
                     might  have  to  setup  NFS  in two steps: First add the portmap service and
                     activate the firewall, then add the NFS service and restart the firewall.

                     To avoid this you can setup your NFS server to listen on pre-defined  ports,
                     as     documented     in    NFS    Howto    (http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-
                     howto/ar01s06.html#nfs_firewalls).  If you do this then  you  will  have  to
                     define  the  the  ports  using the procedure described in Adding Services in
                     firehol.conf(5).

              Notes

                     The nis service queries the RPC service on the nis server host to  find  out
                     the  ports  ypserv  and  yppasswdd  are listening.  Then, according to these
                     ports it sets up rules on all the supported protocols (as reported  by  RPC)
                     in order the clients to be able to reach the server.

                     For this reason, the nis service requires that:

                     • the firewall is restarted if the nis server is restarted

                     • the  nis server must be specified on all nis statements (only if it is not
                       the localhost)

                     Since nis queries the remote RPC server, it is required to also  be  allowed
                     to  do  so,  by allowing the portmap too.  Take care that this is allowed by
                     the running firewall when FireHOL tries to query the  RPC  server.   So  you
                     might  have  to  setup  nis  in two steps: First add the portmap service and
                     activate the firewall, then add the nis service and restart the firewall.

                     This   service    was    added    to    FireHOL    by    Carlos    Rodrigues
                     (http://sourceforge.net/p/firehol/feature-requests/20/).     His    comments
                     regarding this implementation, are:

                     These rules work for client access only!

                     Pushing changes to slave servers  won’t  work  if  these  rules  are  active
                     somewhere  between  the  master  and its slaves, because it is impossible to
                     predict the ports where yppush will be listening on each push.

                     Pulling changes directly on the slaves will  work,  and  could  be  improved
                     performance-wise  if  these rules are modified to open fypxfrd.  This wasn’t
                     done because it doesn’t make that much sense since pushing  changes  on  the
                     master  server  is  the most common, and recommended, way to replicate maps.

                     Default ports used by NX server for connections without encryption.

                     Note that nxserver also needs the ssh to be enabled.

                     This information has been extracted from this The TCP ports used by nxserver
                     are   4000   +   DISPLAY_BASE   to  4000  +  DISPLAY_BASE  +  DISPLAY_LIMIT.
                     DISPLAY_BASE and DISPLAY_LIMIT are  set  in  /usr/NX/etc/node.conf  and  the
                     defaults are DISPLAY_BASE=1000 and DISPLAY_LIMIT=200.

                     For  encrypted  nxserver  sessions,  only  ssh  is needed.  [WIKI-nxserver]:

              Notes

                     The   samba  service  automatically  sets  all  the  rules  for  netbios_ns,
                     netbios_dgm, netbios_ssn and microsoft_ds.

                     Please refer to the notes of the above services for more information.

                     NETBIOS initiates based on the broadcast address of  an  interface  (request
                     goes  to broadcast address) but the server responds from its own IP address.
                     This makes the “server  samba  accept”  statement  drop  the  server  reply,
                     because of the way the iptables connection tracker works.

                     This service definition includes a hack, that allows a Linux samba server to
                     respond correctly in such situations, by allowing new  outgoing  connections
                     from the well known netbios_ns port to the clients high ports.

                     However,  for  clients and routers this hack is not applied because it would
                     open all unprivileged ports to the  samba  server.   The  only  solution  to
                     overcome  the problem in such cases (routers or clients) is to build a trust
                     relationship  between  the  samba  servers   and   clients.    [HOME-samba]:

                     SIP (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/SIP) is an  IETF  standard  protocol
                     (RFC  2543)  for  initiating  interactive user sessions involving multimedia
                     elements such as  video,  voice,  chat,  gaming,  etc.   SIP  works  in  the
