[opensuse-security] How can I tell susefirewall not to log about a certain port?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, In the /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 file I have: FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="4662" But entries to that port are logged: Jul 15 14:07:25 nimrodel kernel: SFW2-INext-ACC-TCP IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:40:f4:2e:b1:21:00:30:da:70:d7:ea:08:00 SRC=189....

Hi,
I have also spend some time with this exact same issue
but unfortunately I do not have a solution for this,
but it would be wyse to remember that particular port
is the default for a very well known application that
I would seriously advise to log.
The ideal would be to have a separate log just for
this port.
This adds another level of complexity in the issue,
but IMHO it would be the perfect solution ...
Regards,
Pedro

Hi,
In the /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 file I have:

Hi, Since SuSEfirewall is merely a front-end for iptables, you can accomplish what you need by taking advantage of the following fact: iptables rules that have a target ACCEPT, DROP or REJECT cause the processing of subsequent rules to be terminated. To do logging, SuSE firewall sets two rules for the specific match: forst a LOG rule and then a ACCEPT/DROP rule to specify the packet's fate. This allows you to do the following: Editing the /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom file and find the fw_custom_before_port_handling() function definition. Inside the function (that is - before the 'true' command) add a rule that would accept all traffic to the port in question. That should be something like this: iptables -t filter -I input_ext -p tcp --dport 4662 -j ACCEPT You should no longer see any logging output for that port. A drawback is that you should add a rule for each port you have opened. You can overcome this by creating a script that would check the firewall's configuration file in /etc/sysconfig and add ACCEPT rules for each port opened (mind that services might be specified by both port number and service name for well-known services, as found in /etc/services file). If you have trouble writing such a script, please don't hesitate to contact me again. Best regards. -- Blade hails you...
