Ashley and other helpful list posters: Yes, please do. I appreciate your help in this matter. I am new to linux (less then 6 months serious exp) and want to keep my local lan secure. For you others: I apoligise if I intruded on your security discussions. I did NOT see a listserv for "idiots". I had no intentions of disturbing your "world" I only seek to learn what is (IMHO) a much better netowrking OS. In the short time I've used it, I'm inpressed. No, my real name does not appear in my emails sent. If ya really must know it's Bramton (NorDak Internet)

SuSEfirewall does not support iptables as shipped with 7.1, But it does recognized if you are using the 2.2.18 or 2.4 kernel and does the appropriate thing to setup ipchains.

I was just playing with netfilter yesterday (and the day before that, and the day before that... ). I'm masquerading a subnet behind a dynamic ppp link. I hacked together a SuSEesque init script and iptables rules script to setup up a iptables firewall for a stock 7.1 system. I will send it to you if you are interested.

Some good sites for netfilter: http://va.samba.org/netfilter/ http://www.BoingWorld.com/workshops/linux/iptables-tutorial/ http://ods.dyndns.org/ipt_flow.html http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jns/security/iptables/ http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/presentations/20010417

Has anyone setup Connection sharing with kernel 2.4.2-4suse ?? I use a dialup connection and share it currently with IP Masq. Looking forward to migrating to netfilter's con sharing...

I am currently running ManDrake 7.2 on my "server" box, and and to replace it with SuSE (running the updated kernel. I know that IP Masq has been replaced with netfilter. My questions are as follows:

1. Is the neccessary utils bundled with SuSE 7.1 Pro (updated)? 2. Does the SuSEFirewall utility set this up? 3. If not Where can I find Idiot instructions?

Thank you for your time. Ambrosius1972@hotmail.com
