My guess is that you upgraded to Leap 15.0 from some previous version, or perhaps tumbleweed, and you are running the old firewall which has not been migrated by *you* to the new firewall.
Sorry, I'm on Leap 15.0 and it was upgraded by zypper from Leap 42.3
Looking at YaST software listings, apparently I have both SuSEfirewall2 and firewalld installed, along with firewall-config, firewall-macros, firewalld-lang, python3-firewall, xfwp & yast2-firewall.
Nothing told me to migrate a firewall. I don't want a firewall. Is it safe to just remove all these packages?
Well, it is up to you to decide to have a firewall or not. I always have one on every machine I control. If you really do not want a firewall, just: systemctl status firewalld.service systemctl stop firewalld.service systemctl disable firewalld.service systemctl status SuSEfirewall2.service systemctl stop SuSEfirewall2.service systemctl disable SuSEfirewall2.service and then remove SuSEfirewall2 packages. You get both because you may want to migrate your settings from the previous firewall in 42.3 to the new one in 15.0. There is a tool that automates that migration, I forgot the name and it is not documented in the release notes. Ah. Google finds it: "susefirewall2-to-firewalld" https://en.opensuse.org/Firewalld If you are sure you do not want to migrate settings, then just delete SuSEfirewall2 packages, then enable and start firewalld.service, then open the needed ports. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
