I want to talk on Port 6667 (IRC-Server) of my own Server. You will say, I can probably talk to the internal Adress, but I can't do that with a specially-written program.

I think in SuSEfirewall* you can add a hook with own rules. I would suggest to accept requests for port 6667 on device eth0 (or whatever your internal interface is). With chains, this would be like ipchains -I input -d 0/0 6667 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT with tables this command is slightly different, check out the man page. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
