[olug] debian wide open networking/smb

[Mike McNally]

Today I am going to get this !@#% thing networking.  I pasted into the
netbase file the accept line from the firewall.howto and now when I do a
ping localhostname I don't get the network unavailable msg.  Instead I
get all packets lost.  I'd say this is an improvement and ipfwadm lines
are probably sufficient to pass data, but there is probably some high
faluting network monitoring processing running, as yet unconfigured that
are @#$ing me.  I show several instances of omniNames & nfsiod running,
tamad, tcplogd.  Is one of these processes the likely culprit?

route -n
dest		gw		gmask		flg	met	ref	use	iface
assign'd ip	0.0.0.0		255.255.255.255	UH	0	0	0	ppp0
192.168.1.0	0.0.0.0		255.255.255.0	U	0	0	1	eth0
127.0.0.0	0.0.0.0		255.0.0.0	U	0	0	3	lo
0.0.0.0		assn'd ip	0.0.0.0		UG	0	0	1	ppp0

often the gw coloumn is shown to have stars (*) in it.  Is there a
problem here?
