Hi run "SuSEfirewall stop", or go back to runlevel 1 (init 1). Runlevel 3 has still the firewall active... So it was never stopped. Better still, do a "tail -f /var/log/messages" on the firewall machine while the firewall is active, and trying to print. You will see what the firewall are blocking. (remeber to configure firewall to log all denys in rc.config). Then You can adjust the rules so that PS will traver thru it, but is still protecting Your system. You can place additional firewall rules to the end of /sbin/SuSEfirewall script. Jaska. Viestissä Maanantai 17. Syyskuuta 2001 16:13, Alain Barthelemy kirjoitti:
Bonjour,
Small problem
I have a Postfix servor on a SuSE 7.1 host. It worked very well. I had the bad idea to try to install SuSE Firewall in /etc/rc.config.d/rc.firewall
I had problem because my mail servor became unreachable. I suspected the reason to be the Firewall. I entered thus START_FW = "no" in /etc/rc.config and made init s -> init 3 to resettle the system. But SuSE 7.1 insisted on installing the Firewall.
I had thus to "fill" the firewall daemon manually with rcfirewall-personal stop and then I could use again Postfix
It's there another way to stop the Firewall
Of course I'll have to reconfigure the Firewall because ther is a problem it stops smtp connexions
