some type of sense. I have just successfully compiled and installed Novell's eDir for Linux on Suse 7.3. I am running Firewall2 with a relatively [...] issue arises when attempting to broadcast out my tree information. I receive intricate rule set, which includes two internal networks running via NAT. If I authenticate locally to eDir, I can query the LDAP server, login, and basically ensure that everything on that end is installed correctly. My a alert suse is dropping packets (SuSE-FW-DROP-ANTI-SPOOFINGIN) to destination 224.0.1.22. What would be the best way to allow this interaction without breaking Firewall2. How can I ensure this rule remains after suseconfig runs. Thanks in advance for you assistance.

You compiled it ? Wow, since when is Novell releasing eDir's source code ? Please send a copy to me ;-) I don't use FW2, so I can't answer your question regarding the rule but I bet you have to edit the file for custom rules in /etc/rc.config.d/ Actually I don't understand why you want to multicast information to / from the internet. 224.0.1.22 is used for User Agents and Directory Agents - normally there's no reason to send information about running Netware services to the internet or receive requests from the internet. (Maybe we should change to a Novell mailing list from this point ;-) ) Cheers Bjoern
