Re: [suse-security] SuSEfirewall and Kernel 2.4.0

Hi folks

I read that SuSEfirewall on SuSE 7.1 (Kernel 2.4.0 (Standard)) is not supported? Is there any script who supported iptables? Or I have to recompile the 2.4.0 Kernel with ipchains support?

The SuSE kernel does have support for ipchains, and it is recommended to configure a kernel to have this backwards compatibility. A new version of the SuSEfirewall script that supports iptables is in the works, but since the old one works quite well, you can as well use this one.

Thanks

Benny
