hello list,

i have a problem with my firewall on my 9.1: if i allow some
ports in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2, for example

FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP = "8080"

and restart the firewall i can see no rulez in 
iptables -L INPUT or input_ext that accept this
port and requests are being blocked on that port.

i did set up the same system on a different location
and everything is working fine there...i can see 
all necessary rules in the input_ext chain.

if i manually add a rule on my machine for that port it works
fine, but why aren;t the rules set up correctly 
if i enter everything in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2???

i don't get it...has anybody a clue what to do here???

TIA and best regards

luk
