Hi all,
I've been trying to firewall some Samba fileservers off from a LAN while
retaining (only) CIFS traffic. As I have found some old hardware that can
function as a small time gateway, I'd like to put the fileservers on a
separate Ethernet.
.--------.
| samba1 |-----.
`--------' | .---[ windows workstation ]
.--------. | .---------. +-- [ windows workstation ]
| samba2 |--+---| gateway |---+- [ windows workstation ]
`--------' `---------' +-- .....
|
.------.
| adsl |--/.
`------'
(The samba* and gateway are FreeBSD boxes)
I would like the Samba fileservers to be only reachable via the CIFS
protocol (they should be able to query other boxes too) and deny any
other traffic, and I wonder what ipfw rules I could inject into the
gateway so the samba servers have some sense of "physical" security.
Is there anybody who has a ipfw-ruleset that allows (nothing but) CIFS
traffic, or can point me in the direction of a good description of the
CIFS protocol so I can make a better attempt? I guess it has been done
before, but could not find anything useful on the web...
Thanks in advance!
w.
