Hi,

I'm trying to install Moblock on CentOS 5.3 and it's really difficult to find packages for it or even compile in the source.

I have discovered these pages:

and attempted the second one! Of which I get errors on both the cron.daily script and init.d script.

In fact something is not right as checking the logs doesn't show any action what so ever

I grabbed rpm's from rpm search website which I managed to mix and match Fedora 10 and RedHat el5 ones for the netfilter bits and attempted to install the script in the Moblock downloads section.

Basically what I ended up with is a mess!!!

Upon trying to remove the Fedora 10 rpm I used rpm -e which claimed that the package isn't installed however when attempting the Fedora 7 rpm from the first link it claims that it is.....

I am lost, if anyone can assist me in removing and helping me identify which rpm's would work on my system I'd be really grateful!!

Many thanks!

Hmm, for unistallation I guess you better ask in a CentOS forum. (Of course, if anybody here can help, I´d welcome that.)

For installation, I´m not really sure what to suggest.

• AFAIK most rpm packages are outdated. Especially moblock 0.8 should not be used with multiple blocklists, although only using the ipfilter.dat list is ok. Further that can´t be integrated with most other firewalls (see "marking packets").
• Instead moblock 0.9 cvs version should be used. I offer that together with blockcontrol at moblock-deb.sourceforge.net. But there are no RPMs. So you have to install from source (once you have the relevant netfilter development files that is an average task, but still doable.)
• You may also use iplist instead. IIRC iplist.sourceforge.net has RPM packages.

Other solutions are in work, but not available yet.

Many thanks jre,

I have Google'd some more and come across this:

http://forums.clarkconnect.com/showf...93&Main=103266

which also says to use iplist in conjunction with Moblock.....

Therefor I click on the link you gave for iplist only the Fedora 9 rpm I tried didn't work, so I'm wondering which version of iplist will run on my system??

Well in mean time of writing this I found one for Fedora Core 8.... I will try in a sec.

Is this a GUI tool??? Basically, since my server is CLI only based I need something to run in background to work like Peer Guardian on Win but without GUI or remote X over SSH tunnel for it.

Well any more suggestions would be much appreciated!

Manage to install iplist Fedora Core 8 no problems...

Now just need to know how to load it into Moblock:
