Hello! I was playing agounf with QoS and the new Versions of IPtables witch works fine. But since then my Firewall2 wont initialize anymore!

Starting Firewall Initialization: (phase 2 of 3) failed

I can´t find any errors in messages, firewall or warn!

That's because during that phase the output of the FW2 script is redirected to /dev/null

Where am i supposed to look for hints now? I have already installed the "old" iptables to see if its works with them, but it doesnt. A debug mode for SuSEfirewall2 would be great now! :)

Does phase 3 of 3 start correctly? During starting it does exactly the same as phase 2 except for the redirection to /dev/null. For testing, you could (after making a backup copy) edit /etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_setup and remove the redirection part ( > /dev/null 2>&1) Maybe you can then see where it fails. You can start SW2 manually by executing /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 add help to see the start options available.

Cheers, Mario

p.s. I have SuSE7.3 with the standard 2.4.10 Kernel.
