![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/b088ccf6c29e538f364a6069b41a901c.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi List, I modify the following archives: /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny In /etc/hosts.allow I added the following line: sshd: ALL In /etc/host.deny, Only block the following line: #ALL: ALL Except localhost With this way I can to do access remote, but I re-started my computer and I can't have access remote. I had to stop SuSefirewall2 and I can to into my computer using ssh, but I don't like stop my firewall. Please I need your help with this. Maybe I read about Harden_suse and don't recommend to block the line #ALL: ALL Except localhost. I only like use ssh, and others service I don't like to use, please help me. Pd: Sorry for my enghish but I understand it.
This is a FAQ. Harden_suse closes a lot. To solve this, go over the options in /etc/hosts.allow, /etc/ssh/sshd.conf and (possibly) /etc/login.defs And of course -but you did that, right(?)- /var/log/messages...

It seems to me, that You have to permit the port for ssh in Your SuSEfirewall2.config I am far away from an expert to SuSEfirewall2 but everything You do not permit explicitly, is forbidden. If I am right You have to open port 22 on both, internal and external interface. [...]
Pd: Sorry for my enghish but I understand it. Fine for You! I hope You understand my personal version of that language! ;-)
