SLE Upgrade to 7.1, but new Firewall won't work

21 Mar 2001


      Hello:

        My upgrade to Ver 7.1 went through without any significant
problems except for the new Firewall setup under the 2.4 kernel. 
My system is a small home office with only 2 PC's: my Linux box and a
lower-powered Win NT 4.0 box.  Under SuSE 7.0, my Linux acted as a proxy
to my dial-up ISP for the NT workstation.  Under 7.1, however, I can't
seem to get the '/etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config' file to work
properly --- the 'SuSEfirewall_*' bootup scripts always fail.  I've read
the documentation files, but I'm still doing something wrong, and can't
figure out what!

        Can anyone help me??

        Thanks,

                Hal Schlicht
