perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Joseph Ghobrial <>]

Hi Andy, how does that relate to the first jump rule to perfSONAR? Will an update again move that rule to the first rule on the INPUT chain? If so then I'll always run into this. Just wanted to make sure I understand that if I insert something before the perfSONAR jump in the INPUT chain that it will remain where it is and not move up again thus overriding my rules.

Thanks,

Joseph

Hi,

See http://docs.perfsonar.net/manage_security.html#adding-your-own-firewall-rules

TL;DR: Leave the perfSONAR chain alone and add your rules in a chain of higher priority.

Hope that helps,

Andy

Hi, I prefer to have my SSH port accessible to a restricted set of addresses, however the default perfSONAR iptables rules allows ssh from anywhere overriding my rules. How do I change the default behavior such that perfSONAR updates exclude including the builtin SSH rule? Or how do I change the default rule to be the way I want it?

Thanks,

Joseph
