hi, you can find useful .pdf about SuSEFirewall2 at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/susefaq/ it's named firewall2-a3-0-9.pdf it also explains why SuSE has 3 init scripts for firewall.

Hi,
I am currently dealing with the SuSEfirewall 9.3 and I hope that somebody knows more or figured out more about it then the pour documentation tries to do. I did work quiet a while on the iptables but this SuSE system really does not make a difference in terms of complexity. Sorry.
Is there any better documentation about it then you can find in /usr/share/doc/packages/SuSEfirewall2
I found these two scripts e.g.:
SuSEfirewall2_init SuSEfirewall2_setup
Why does SuSE needs two scripts?
Does SuSE plan to change main things on the firewall system in future? Since they did from version to version.
