Hi Pupeno, since SuSE7.1 the directory structure is nearly the same like RH or Mandrake. You can add the file to /etc/rc.d/ and link it to the different runlevels (if you want to start it as deamon). On the other hand you can put it to /root and run it as root wheneveryou want. for disabling any rules flushing the rules and set them to ACCEPT. MfG.
