Here's a quick one. Any yes it's probably been answered but I've tried searching and it doesn't seem to come up. Basicly I'm using SuSE 7.3 Pro, and I want to save the Firewall2 rules so that on boot-up these rules are used. Unfortunatly I'm not quite sure what has to be modified in SuSE's enviroment for this to be true. It's a really basic rule set that works properly for our enviroment right now, it'll be expanded once I understand which files need to be modified. I've picked up from the netfilter.samba.org site the basic ruleset, and they have a paragraph that states how you can save ruleset's, but it appears each vendor does their own thing. thanks, evan Here's the commands. iptables -N block_outside iptables -A block_outside -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A block_outside -m state --state NEW -i eth1 -j ACCEPT iptables -A block_outside -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -j block_outside iptables -A FORWARD -j block_outside _________________________________________________________________________ This mail sent via toadmail.com, web e-mail @ ToadNet - want to go fast? http://www.toadmail.com
