Re: [Networker] Linux Client setup

Hello,
The system is not here yet, but i was told it's going to be RedHat Linux 
Enterprise 5.1.
"If /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny is being used, you will need to
make sure that the portmap entry allows connections from your server"
Can you give me an example how this is configured ?

"If iptables is enabled, you will need to make sure that the firewall 
isn't
blocking connections from your server."
How do i query Linux system to know if iptables are enabled or not ?

"If SELinux is in place, you're on your own.  ;-) "
Is this part of RedHat or a different variant of Linux
We have enough client licenses & client pack for Linux is being purchased.
I really appreciate your help with this.
Thanks

You need:

- at least five free client connection licenses, or you need to purchase
   at least five more.

- the Linux Client Pack.


You don't say what version of Red Hat Linux you're running, so I can't
comment on any special install procedures.

If /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny is being used, you will need to
make sure that the portmap entry allows connections from your server.

If iptables is enabled, you will need to make sure that the firewall isn't
blocking connections from your server.

If SELinux is in place, you're on your own.  ;-)  I doubt it will cause
you any problems, but it probably depends on what version of Red Hat
you're running.
