Of course. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ... to be on the safe side you should not switch off the firewall because it will protect your host against unwanted access via network when whatever kind of server process was started by accident. In contrast if one or more server processes are running on your host and you open their matching ports in the firewall, you remove any firewall protection from your host because you only need a firewall to protect running server processes against unwanted access via network. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH -- Maxfeldstrasse 5 -- 90409 Nuernberg -- Germany HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendoerffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
