SuSE 9.1 SuSEfirewall2 config
Greetings to the list: I've recently transfered over from the RedHat distros to SuSE. I'm having a little trouble trying to customize the SuSEfirewall2. I know there is a config file under /etc/sysconfig/SuSUfirewall2. However, it seems to be "keyword" driven. How do I add a unique rule? Under the RedHat distros, I have a script that allowes web access only from certain IPs and other specialized services like that. Also, my logs would get very full from logging every time I drop a packet, so I would only log the drop once per hour if it's from the same IP. That way I could track roughly how many hours I was being hit. I've run the script and all works well, but every time I reboot, or my DSL modem assigns me a new IP, SuSEfirewall2 initializes. Can anyone give me a hint on how to work around this? Thank you for your help. I can't seem to find much documentation on this subject. Sean
It appears your firewall is messing up your text. ;-) Sean Lester wrote:
