Good day, has anyone found a solution to this problem in SUSE 9.0 Pro.?: (Originally posted by David Carter -- see http://lists.suse.com/ archive/suse-autoinstall/2003-Dec/0008.html)
Problem #2: Firewall configuration ==================================
/sbin/yast2 autoyast provides a screen for configurating a firewall which generates the following in autoyast.xml:
<firewall> <fw_allow_fw_traceroute>yes</fw_allow_fw_traceroute> <fw_autoprotect_services>yes</fw_autoprotect_services> <fw_dev_ext>eth0</fw_dev_ext> <fw_dev_int></fw_dev_int> <fw_log_accept_all>no</fw_log_accept_all> <fw_log_accept_crit>yes</fw_log_accept_crit> <fw_log_drop_all>no</fw_log_drop_all> <fw_log_drop_crit>yes</fw_log_drop_crit> <fw_masq_nets></fw_masq_nets> <fw_masquerade>no</fw_masquerade> <fw_protect_from_internal>yes</fw_protect_from_internal> <fw_route>no</fw_route> <fw_services_ext_tcp>ssh</fw_services_ext_tcp> <start_firewall config:type="boolean">true</start_firewall> </firewall>
The yast postinstall script which runs says "Setting up firewall", and there is various output in y2log which includes:
2003-12-08 12:38:45 <1> magenta-4(2667) [YCP] clients/autoinst_configure.ycp:105 Writing configuration for firewall
However, /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 doesn't appear to get updated:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26770 Dec 8 12:35 SuSEfirewall2
and iptables doesn't acquire any rules. Does autoyast support SuSEfirewall yet? It is conspicuous by its absence in the documentation provided at:
I have Googled the internet, read the Unofficial SuSE FAQ, searched the SuSE archives I know of, and searched the SuSE Support DataBase. No luck. Best regards :o) Johnny :o)
