SuSEFirewall2 is turned on by default on new OpenSuSE
installations,however how do I know what are exactly
the default settings?Reading the
/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 file,and running iptables
--list command
is not very helpful(specially if you are not netfilter
knowledgeable).Does it block everything coming from
the outside world,and permits all connections that
were initiated from inside,or so?Where do I know more?
I run an IDS over my Internet traffic and with
OpenSuSE
(firewall on -default),it shows substantially less
notices than in other system(not OpenSuSE) without
firewall.
