FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="80" #this is http FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="443" #this is https FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="21" #this is ftp fro Mr.A and B

currently i must type this in sf2: FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="80 443 21"

current scripts syntax difficult for large network with customize ports service for any clients.

It's just bash variable assignments, and I don't see a problem. Run sed to modify the variable settings, or if you create the whole thing automatically by a method of your choice, have that method create the whole file (and you woulnd't need to keep the comments). SuSEfirewall2 is more powerful and easier to use than a lot of the firewall GUI stuff I've seen. In your example, you could write FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP=" 80 443 21 " or FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP= FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="$FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP 80" FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="$FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP 443" FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="$FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP 21" if you wanted to. Don't necessarily expect yast to still be able to handle it then though.
