Huge Wishbone Ash collection added to server

Well, a lot has happened since I fixed the ftp issue with the firewall script, but that’s a long story.  I ‘rolled it back’ to the state that it was in before I tried to get it working properly under systemctl, so I shall take another stab at it in the future, hopefully being a bit more cautious.

But, this update is not about the firewall, it’s about finally putting something back on the server that’s been missing since the huge crash back in 2007 or so.

CRAB server firewall.iptables now fixed, so it will restart without a reboot.

For those of you familiar with my Linux server, y’all know that I run many custom BASH, Perl, and Python scripts.  We are going to discuss today my iptables firewall script, or actually the fact that I took the time to repair it.   Since upgrading the server to Fedora 20 in September 2014, my firewall script would start fine, but would choke on restarting, reloading, or running it over itself.  The end result would be that the server would sever all ports with the outside, effectively taking it down, needing a reboot to get it back online.  This was a real PITA, since I couldn’t really make any changes to the firewall without reboot.  I thought it was an end result of the OS changing from SysV init scripts to a systemd system.  How wrong I was….  The cause was simply a typo that I made while adding a feature, and a ‘done’ without a ‘while’ and a ‘fi’ without an ‘if’ stopped the script from accepting the restart and reload argument.  Most of the iptables rulesets were created before this typo, so it gave the ‘appearance’ that it was working properly.  Debugging a script of this size is a fairly daunting task, as the main firewall script is a healthy 50 pages, and its configuration file (one of a half dozen helper files) is about 7 pages long.  Since I’ve had a few questions about this firewall, I’ll share it with everybody…..

Download links are only viewable to logged in users.  All the other helper files, as well as these are all available upon request.  If you are a logged in user, and downloading these files, remove the .txt extension from the config and main files….

All in all, it was a fairly productive week off.  I have a few other minor syntax errors to chase down, but the firewall is operating within normal parameters…..

 

New server IP address

Due to the migration to Frontier from ATT, the server’s static IP address has changed from 108.89.65.174.  It’s new IP address is:  32.220.54.46.

Also, the web pages at cap.vapor.com have been migrated to cap.crabradio.net, so that they fall fully under the crabradio.net domain, owned by me.

The subdomain webpage still has a cap.vapor.com graphic on it, but I’m hoping my friend The Moonshiner can come up with a similar graphic to just drop in.  😉

The only problems that you will encounter is if you attempt to load cap.vapor.com, as that dns is dead and unlikely to be updated.

I’m still waiting for the rest of the arcnet irc admins to update the US1 server IP address, and I shall reconnect us1.arcnet-irc.org to the rest of the servers.

Thanks for your patience.
