There's another behavior with SuSEfirewall2 with multiple network interfaces that I would like to discuss.
Why are there rules being created for the not configured interfaces, in other words, why are they being added by default to the external zone if those interfaces aren't being used, not even configured ?
Just a guess: to be on the save side? The interfaces do exist (for example in the udevd-rules), even though they are not configured. And thus the firewall rather adds blocking rules than allowing them to become an open door to your computer.
I suppose, the interfaces are phisically present on the applicance and were detected by the installation, but never configured, only two of them. -- JLB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-security+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-security+owner@opensuse.org
