Hello All,
I am having a big problem with the Java IDE Eclipse - both with the version packed with SuSE 9.0 Pro and with latest 3.0 Milestone.
[...]
connects immediately , no waiting.I suspect Eclipse is doing some sort of port-probing to find out where the java remote debugging infrastructure is listening for connections and the firewall is making this scan a VERY slow process.
If that is so, try rejecting packets instead of dropping them See /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2: ## Type: yesno ## Default: no # # 26.) # Do you want to REJECT packets instead of DROPing? # # DROPing (which is the default) will make portscans and attacks much # slower, as no replies to the packets will be sent. REJECTing means, that # for every illegal packet, a connection reject packet is sent to the # sender. # # Choice: "yes" or "no", if not set defaults to "no" # FW_REJECT="no" HTH Jörn -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Jörn Ott Telefon: (0 22 24) 94 08 - 73 EDV Service & Beratung Telefax: (0 22 24) 94 08 -74 Lohfelder Str. 33 E-Mail: mailto:white@ott-service.de 53604 Bad Honnef WWW: http://www.ott-service.de/
