Basically all Linux boxes ship with a firewall called netfilter that it is built in to the kernel. Most hardware firewalls are based of netfilter. The more common name for netfilter is what configures it known as IPtables. The firewall is extremely powerful and configurable. That power and comparability comes with the price of being somewhat difficult to learn. Out of the box the Ubuntu firewall is set to permissive as there is no reason for it stock. Unlike Windows, Ubuntu starts with no listening ports.


Here is an example of an IPtables script configuration from the IPtables website:

Example rc.firewall script

The tutorial can be found here: http://iptables-tuto...s-tutorial.html

There are GUI front ends for IPtables. The most popular is firestarter: $ sudo apt-get install firestarter . It is not nearly as powerful as writing your own scripts but it will get the job done.

What device has direct access to the internet? Is it this server or is it a router?

Edit: wrong thread....


So this the only issue left making the SAMBA server more secure? I honestly don't think this is needed as someone would need to compromise your local network (such as cracking your wireless encryption) to gain access to the file server.

Are you using WPA/WPA2 for wireless security?

It looks like the reason that it was allowing you to send without a password is because you Windows accnt does not have a password. I find it a bit confusing at best as I have never had a need not to use anonymous authentication. This guide may provide some insight: http://ubuntuforums....highlight=samba.
