[opensuse] How to firewall
So I am kind o a n00b when it comes to networking with SuSE. By n00b, I mean, I don't do it often enough to know what's going on lol. Anyways, I figured you guys would so maybe you can give me some pointers. Basically this is my setup, my DSL provider has given me 5 static IPs. Currently, 2 i am hosting systems with, one I am using for my wireless router to give certain systems DHCP instead of static (the modem/router they gave me can only work in static or DHCP modes). So this modem they gave me is also an ethernet router with four ports. I connect my Linksys wireless to port 4 and 2 systems are connected to the other two ports. Currently, I have a firewall but I am not thrilled with the one that they are giving me and I don't want to have to firewall the individual systems anymore. I have received a box (P4 nothing special, still need to spec it) and I want to make it an opensuse router. I want to be able to Firewall the whole network. (1), how would I connect this? (2) Can I set up this router to where I can still give my 2 systems (and future systems) their statics and all remaining systems with DHCP? If this works, I'll probably throw out that Linksys router and get a hub or switch. Do I configure these services within the box or the individual systems or the modem? I don't want to lose my static capabilites because I am connected to a router that is supposedly DHCP. Thank you guys for your time and assistance. It is much appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hello, Does anyone know of a scheduling utility that will run a shortcut or an application at a specified time and then shut it down at a specified time? Thanks, Dan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I think cron or at. In both cases you would need two entries for the scheduling utility -- one starting the program at the specified time, and one stopping the program at an other specified time.

Ok, I have used cron on netware before so it should not be hard to use. The only thing is, I cannot get it to run on my box or my server. I get a message like this. cron: can't lock /var/run/cron.pid, otherpid may be 8086: Resource temporarily unavailable Any ideas?

Looks like you are trying to start it when it's already running. In SUSE it runs by default. All you have to do is edit your crontab, the changes will get picked up automatically -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Makes sense. Do you know if there is a gui to manage the cron jobs? Dan. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If you run KDE, you can install the kdeadmin3 package, then you will get under system->service configuration an option called kcron, which will allow you to schedule applications through a GUI -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
