I now have a headache trying to figure and Google how to add rules to the firewall in SCO. I know I have done it before, but I forgot to document it.

I have had a look in the SCO OSR600 Documentation and I cannot find anything in there that will help me. If you can, please help me out.

Please can someone help me add a rule to allow any to any port 22 so I can use ssh to connect remotely.

Thanks.

Update

I have managed to enable ipfstat

#ipfstat enable

And now my firewall is active, I just need to add rules now - but where do I find the rules text file?

I am currently looking for the ipf config file, but can't find it. – Kevdog777 Jul 26 '12 at 12:45

Probably the rule, should be:

pass  in   quick proto tcp  from any  to any port = 22 keep state 
pass  out  quick proto tcp  from any  to any port = 22 keep state

in /etc/ipf.conf

Do you think I should try the same but for like port 80 and 81 as well? Or is that already included (default)? - I haven't tried adding the rules, just got into work now. – Kevdog777 Jul 30 '12 at 7:40
I just tried going in to the /etc/ipf.conf file, and it says it is a new file. I did this in both my user and root profile. – Kevdog777 Jul 30 '12 at 7:49

AWESOME, thank you, it has worked ... FINALLY!!! – Kevdog777 Jul 30 '12 at 8:11
I think that you, like me in the past, need a firewall editor. I suggest you to use fwbuilder fwbuilder.org – tombolinux Jul 31 '12 at 16:18

fwbuilder is a gui client for windows or linux. It helps you to generate the configuration for your firewall, then you can upload it to your server via sftp. – tombolinux Aug 1 '12 at 9:30

Would think you add them the same as you would with iptables. Here is a quick doc on IPF though. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/firewalls-ipf.html

Thank you for your answer, but that site is for FreeBSD, and OK it might help a bit, but reading through that gave me a headache in the first place. – Kevdog777 Jul 30 '12 at 7:57
