Hi,
I am a registered SuSE 7.2 Pro user, who has been learning Linux now for close to two years (I started with SuSE 6.4 - also registered - in May 2000). Hopefully, I'm not the only one still using 7.2. I just need to discover how to activate my firewall.When loading, the install information indicates that my firewall is installed but not activated, so I've made some progress. How do I finish the job and activate it?
In the file /etc/rc.config.d/security.rc.config, you have to fill in something after REJECT_ALL_INCOMING_CONNECTIONS="(fill in)". The easiest is "yes". Also, read the file, it explains a lot. If you have the manual, read section 8.1.3. I use SuSE 8.0 for a few months now, it works with YaST, but I didn't get it right with YaST in SuSE 7.2, which I used until I upgraded to 8.0. You can try it with YaST, but it didn't work for me. Good luck, Vinay
