Redhat Security

[David A. Mason]

I wouldn't be surprised if your ISP's DSL network were using internal
addresses (such as 192.168.) in addition to resolvable IP's for its DSL
customers. I know that this is the case at my ISP.

I would like to address this same question. Though I have "hosts allow
=192.168." AND "interfaces = eth1 192.168.168.2/23 127.0.0.1/24" lines in
my smb.conf file, other DSL customers using my same ISP are apparently
sync'ing with my nmbd over my public eth0 interface.
I know I can block everything out using ipchains (and will!) however I'm
currently testing a new VPN setup and want to keep things open to rule
that out as a source of blocking. Can I perhaps be using the parameters
incorrectly?

Should I also use the "bind interfaces only" parameter?

Thanks,
