first off let me say that i do realise there is a
alt.os.linux.smoothwall group however my isp news doesnt list it even
with a refresh so im posting my question here with the hope that someone
can advise me

i've a few niggling issues which i'd like to address

1. i'm using smoothwall 1.0 with all 6 updates applied, somewhere in the
update process the intrusion detection system service has decided to
stop, ive searched for errors and attempted to restart the service but
cannot, even though the log says 'snort service started' it remains
listed as 'stopped' on the info page.

2. port forwarding appears to work ok, however i have to manually input
ports which is tiresome, is it possible to input a range of ports, for
example all ports between 3000-4000 udp or tcp ? without manually
entering each one.

3. im shortly changing from broadband internet to adsl, and
unfortunately that means i'll only now have one ip instead of the
previous 5, so what id like to do is use smoothwall as my firewall/nat
and to DMZ at least two of the computers on the internal network, my
question is, is it possible to DMZ an ip and does that open all ports
(udp and tcp) on the selected ip ? or am i missing something ? is it
possible to dmz more than one ip ?

4. the whole ssh port 222 thing, doesnt work for me at all, either
internally on the green network or externally, i'd really like access
via ssh or something to the machine from outside, what do i need to do
to set this up, and please dont say rtfm ive done that many times and
followed their advice and still no go.

5. using web admin via port 81 and port 443 locally works (green
network) but not externally from the red network, is this normal, can i
securely web admin it from outside ?

apologies for so many questions, but id really like to resolve these
issues, i have tried many things with this and its frustrating that i
cant sort these out, any advice appreciated includingif someone would do
me a favor and post this on alt.os.linux.smoothwall which i have no
access to other than i can read it in google groups

cheers
