From the quick look I took at "firewall-config", you click the'ssh' box on the right hand side, and save the config. Something like that.
There is clearly a bit of a learning curve here.
If you do that, on the next boot you have to redo everything. By default, all changes are temporary. In "options" you have to click on "Runtime to permanent", or previously switch configuration to Permanent.
Come on - this is at least one of the things that *is* very clear in this GUI. And it's a usefull thing if you quickly want to change some setting without changing the defaults.
Ah: the "Help" menu only has an "About" box.

"A firewalld helper defines the configuration that are needed to be able to use a netfilter connection tracking helper if automatic helper assignment is turned off, which is then the secure use of connection tracking helpers."
I understand nothing...
You can also try to read the (local) manpages, there are quite some. I tried yesterday evening, but the result was similar, so I stopped. You need to read that fully awake (and maybe with a lot of coffee around...)
This no documentation on the YaST firewall module...
Well, the 'Yast Module' is just the (external, also from firewalld.org) firewall-config. But don't try to read the manpage... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
