I know that SuSefirewall uses iptables but for example I want to make an entry for iptables -I INPUT -s 172.16.0.0/32 -j DROP Basically I want to drop any connections from the 172.16.0.0-172.16.255.255 network coming to a sendmail server. With the Yast and SuSefirewall scripts managing the iptables where will I put my entry in and how do I make iptables read the new entry? I tried issuing the above from the command line but I don't know how Suse likes to restart to read the new entry. Help would be appreciated.
By the way - your rule is incorrect for what you want to do. You should specify netmask /16 and not /32. /32 means 'host' and not entire subnet. -- Blade hails you... Heart once bold Now turned to stone Perfection my messenger from hell --Nightwish
