+
+ <p><a name="firewall-pa1"></a>This section allows to configure
+ some simple firewall rules: they determine which type of message from the
+ Internet will be accepted by the target system. This, in turn, allows the
+ corresponding services on the system to be accessible from the
+ Internet.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>In the default setting, no button is checked - no service of the
+ system is accessibly from the network. The "<span class="emphasis"><em>Everything (no
+ firewall)</em></span>" button has a particular role: it enables access to all
+ services of the machine - an option that does not make much sense in the
+ context of the installer since it would create a totally unprotected system.
+ Its veritable use is in the context of the Mageia Control Center (which uses
+ the same GUI layout) for temporarily disabling the entire set of firewall
+ rules for testing and debugging purposes.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>All other checkbuttons are more or less self-explanatory. As an
+ example, you will check the "CUPS server" button if you want printers on
+ your machine to be accessible from the network.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p><span class="bold"><strong>Advanced</strong></span></p>
+
+
+ <p>The set of checkbuttons only comprises the most common services. The
+ "Advanced" button allows to enable messages that correspond to a service for
+ which no checkbutton exists. The "<span class="emphasis"><em>Advanced</em></span>" button
+ opens a window where you can enable a series of services by typing a list of
+ couples (blank separated)
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p><span class="emphasis"><em>&lt;port-number&gt;/&lt;protocol&gt;</em></span></p>
+
+
+ <table border="0" summary="Simple list" class="simplelist">
+ <tr>
+ <td>- <span class="emphasis"><em>&lt;port-number&gt;</em></span> is the value of the
+ port assigned to the service you want to enable (e.g. 873 for the RSYNC
+ service) as defined in <span class="emphasis"><em>RFC-433</em></span>;
+ </td>
+ </tr>
+ <tr>
+ <td>- <span class="emphasis"><em>&lt;protocol&gt;</em></span> is one of
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>TCP</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>UDP</em></span> - the internet
+ protocol that is used by the service.
+ </td>
+ </tr>
+ </table>
+
+
+ <p>For instance, the entry for enabling access to the RSYNC service
+ therefore is <span class="emphasis"><em>873/tcp</em></span>.
+ </p>
+
+
+ <p>In case a service is implemented to use both protocols, you specify 2
+ couples for the same port.
