SuSEfirewall and SuSEfirewall2
Hi! Currently, i am writing a webmin module for configuring a SuSEfirewall. In this module i need to know if the firewall is already running.=20 How can i see, if there is a running SuSEfirewall on the current system? Some things i already figured out: - SuSEfirewall ist not found via ps-command. ( Only when the script is = called there is a process ) - using a ipchains -L outputs the current rules. If no firewall is set = the default policies are to accept all ( okay, half of the work is done , but....). But it does = not show if the rules are set by SuSEfirewall. There might be another firewall lurking in the system. I = don=B4t think, that i should overwrite ipchains-rules if there is another wall. How can i be sure of the "running" SuSEfirewall? Anyone got an idea? Please send answers per PM. Thanks Dieter Springer

AFAIK SuSEfirewall is some shell script which sets up some firewall rules. For that, it executes ipchains. After setting all rules, the script is finished and by this you see nothing about it with ps after that. If you see it, it's just running (or hang - which is really bad). I don't know if there are timeouts implemented. So you won't have or need a "running" process duering normal operation. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
