I have a standard install running SUSE 7.1 on PC hardware. It uses a 56k modem to talk to Earthlink via ppp. I believe it has firewall running since (1) I can see a couple of messages about "personal-firewall" go by during the boot sequence and (2) if I try to telnet or ssh into the box from the internet, I see messages in /var/log/messages about the connect being rejected. I would like to temporarily disable enough of the protection to allow incoming ssh, telnet, and ftp connections. I tried modifying settings in /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config to allow the desired services, but to no apparent effect. I then tried to disable the firewall completely but found that my rc.config already had the line START_FW ="no" and yet some firewall clearly is running. Any pointers to definitive docs on the SUSE 7.1 firewall setup? I don't seem to be able to figure out what I need from the printed manuals.
