I know it's a bit less secure when opening up those ports, but how do you distinguish between internal (trusted) and external (untrusted) zones ? When I connect my laptop somehow (cable/wireless) to my home-network that network is trusted. When I say somehow it is because cables are not availbable everywhere in my house. When I go "on the road" and connect my laptop (mostly wireless, but not always !), how do I specify that the network is now untrusted, as non-root user ? Network-manager _could_ do this by asking, but AFAIK it's not possible now.
What I have done in the past, to have home & away configs, is to ping an IP address, such as for my firewall/router on my home network and then check the MAC address for that address. If it's there, you could have a script run a command to shut down the firewall. For example, the script could contain: ping router arp -a|grep <mac address> && rcSuSEfirewall2 stop etc. You'd have the firewall always start and then if your router is detected, shut it down. You could include that script in /etc/init.d/after.local, which runs after pretty much everything else, including network. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
