Hi Marek,
I've got a burning problem with my VPS running under SuSE with Plesk. Well... I've tried to configure firewall thru YaST tool and I configured sth badly cause I lost access to my server. No problem, I though cause I still could switch to Repair Mode with Plesk... so I did. But the problem is, that when I'm changing anything while under Repair Mode, after restart all changes are changing back to old/bad ones :/
--> usually in repair mode, you have to mount the original filesystem under e.g. /mnt The files you have to change are then /mnt/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 a.s.o
I've tried to edit /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 or even delete firwall script from /init.d/ with no effect - files are returning after restart.
--> I have no experience with Plesk so I can't help you with this problem.
My question is: Could someone please tell me how to turn off this damn SuSEfirewall and configure firewall in future only thru iptables ?
--> You can remove the SuSEfirewall by De-Installing it with YaST oder on the command-line with "rpm -e SuSEfirewall2" Or you can turn it off in the Init-Scripts with the Runlevel-Editor of YaST or on the command-line with "insserv -r SuSEfirewall2" in the directory "/etc/init.d" HTH, Armin -- Am Hasenberg 26 office: Institut für Atmosphärenphysik D-18209 Bad Doberan Schloss-Straße 6 Tel. ++49-(0)38203/42137 D-18225 Kühlungsborn / GERMANY Email: schoech@iap-kborn.de Tel. +49-(0)38293-68-102 WWW: http://armins.cjb.net/ Fax. +49-(0)38293-68-50
