Hi Armin,
Hi Marek,
I've got a burning problem with my VPS running under SuSE with Plesk. Well... I've tried to configure firewall thru YaST tool and I configured sth badly cause I lost access to my server. No problem, I though cause I still could switch to Repair Mode with Plesk... so I did. But the problem is, that when I'm changing anything while under Repair Mode, after restart all changes are changing back to old/bad ones :/
-->> usually in repair mode, you have to mount the original filesystem under e.g. /mnt The files you have to change are then /mnt/etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 a.s.o
as I observed it automatically mount to /repair - that was the key... thanks
I've tried to edit /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 or even delete firwall script from /init.d/ with no effect - files are returning after restart.
-->> I have no experience with Plesk so I can't help you with this problem.
My question is: Could someone please tell me how to turn off this damn SuSEfirewall and configure firewall in future only thru iptables ?
-->> You can remove the SuSEfirewall by De-Installing it with YaST oder on the command-line with "rpm -e SuSEfirewall2"
Or you can turn it off in the Init-Scripts with the Runlevel-Editor of YaST or on the command-line with "insserv -r SuSEfirewall2" in the directory "/etc/init.d"
YaST need firewall's RPMs so I just removed scripts from /etc/init.d and now works fine...
