No, unfortunately that does not work.
But why not? I thought you could add custom rules to SuSEfirewall2 via an include file - see question 25 in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2. You just create a file, write in your custom rules and tell SuSEfirewall2 where the file is. Unless the actual rule itself isn't correctly formulated, of course, in which case it will never work.
In this case it is the rule itself that does not work. I added the rule directly from the command line. So, it is not that SuSEFirewall cannot take custom commands, it can, via the include file as you mention. But my reply was to state that the given rule did not work. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
