Since I don't like that Acroread 7 sends messages home, I would like to do something like this:
What leads you to believe that it sends messages to Adobe? I'd be a little surprised that it would do such a thing without there being an option that can be disabled, and I see no indication that there's an option for controlling it in the Preferences dialog.
Well, how about running ethereal? Yes, it does send these messages and there is no *real* way to disable thits: You can disable this by disabling JavaScript in the configuration. Disabling JS on the other hand will bring up a requester to turn JS on again each time you exit Acroread, so sooner or later you will accidentally turn JS on again. There is one other "solution", namely to move the plugins away but after doing that, not only JS will be turned off, but also searchin the the document won't work and other things as well. I think Adobe is working hard on making kpdf my primary pdf-viewer - and they've mostly succeeded. (xpdf should do too of course)
There is a Proxy configuration panel in that dialog. You could just point it to a non-existent proxy server.
Yes.
iptables -A OUTPUT -m owner --cmd-owner acroread -j DROP
How do I include this using the SuSE FW2 of 9.2?
You can enalbe the FW_CUSTOMRULES and put the rule into the custom script.
