Topic: [Announcement] Port opening rpm available for SME 5.6

[Jon Blakely]

I have updated Darrell Mays port opening rpm for SME 5.6.

It requires e-smith-packetfilter-1.13.0-07.noarch.rpm.
Thanks Charlie for pointing me to your contrib. It made life a lot easier.

dmc-mitel-portopening-0.0.1-3.noarch.rpm is available at

http://www.khunjarnet.com/downloads/portopening-SME5.6-only/

or Darrells site

http://myezserver.com/downloads/mitel/contrib/portopening/SME5.6/

Note: This will only work with SME 5.6. For <= 5.5 still use Darrell's
dmc-mitel-portopening-0.0.1-2.noarch.rpm

Thanks, looks interesting.

Can you point me to a description of what this module does and how I might use it?

I am interested to know if I could use it to schedule ports to open & close to coincide with my daily Unison mirroring over the internet.

Thanks

David

David,

The port opening rpm provides a server-manager panel to allow the opening or closing of tcp or udp ports. It will not do what you want it to do.

Your best bet would be to run a cron job to open and close your ports.
