Personally I wish SuSE would just drop SuSEfirewall, and include Shorewall instead. I don't expect it to happen anytime soon though, so I recently went ahead and repackaged the rpm to match the SuSE environment.
Since I'm no rpm expert either I'm not going to 'publish' said rpms, as they probably contain packaging errors. Still, if someone wants to check them out, contact me privately.
Very late, but nevertheless: the rpms on the shorewall.net site integrate perfectly in SUSE afaik, no need to make them yourself. <http://shorewall.de/pub/shorewall/3.4/shorewall-3.4.0/shorewall-3.4.0-1. noarch.rpm>
I conure. The shorewall rpms work fine, and even the init script works great.
Suse would be better off spending the time they spend on Suse Firewall on a yast interface for configuring shorewall. As it stands you actually have to have "advanced skills" like reading a web page and actually typing with fingers applied to keyboard !!! into a text file in order to get shorewall up. Oh The Horror of it all!!!
You can install webmin and you will have a graphical interface for configuring Shorewall. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
