[cobalt-security] [RaQ3] Portsentry - Can someone see where I'm going wrong :<

["Render-Vue" <sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yah,

Just tried installing portsentry onto a Raq3 (thought I'd be brave after
installing logcheck successfully)...see process below. I've followed the
install manual to best of my ability (still a windows man) - searched the
archives (only one similar post) and the thing still won't fire up. I've
even tried installing under the make generic but still no joy. Can someone
see where I'm going wrong or offer any suggestions.

I thought I'd play safe and go for the basic -tcp & -udp modes, with packet
filtering - wasn't sure which one to choose ipfwadm or ipchains and do I
need these installed or are they already on the Cobalts??? (chose
KILL_ROUTE="/sbin/ipchains -I input -s $TARGET$ -j DENY -l" in
portsentry.conf)

Many thanks in advance & regards from Auckland

Chae

In the portsentry folder there are 3 files...
portsentry
portsentry.conf
portsentry.ignore

so the files are there, but it just won't run - aaahhhh :>
