RE: [suse-security] Installing a Firewall on the same system runi ng HTTP, Mail, DNS, ..

Is there some security feature, if we ran a firewall on the same server, which is running other services like HTTP, .. Personally, I'd suggest to get a firewall running on a specific server, and all other services on other systems.

The main problem with using a firewall to perform other services is that vulnerabilities in those services can have disastrous effects, typically much graver ones than if merely a server is compromised. Tobias
