Thus, sorry, I'm not going to waste time reporting a bug that will not be investigated at all.
I have, in fact, reported bugs on 12.3 which got no response yet. I don't see much incentive to reporting even on recent versions... :-(
That probably depends on the assignee, but should not stop you.
Ok, I'll trust you. Reported.
<https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816400> Bug 816400 - SuSEfirewall2 rejects ICMP packets it should accept.
I'll write here a summary of that Bugzilla, for those interested. My system is using a local named server. It is configured thus: forwarders { 192.168.1.1; }; forward first; which means that it first asks the router for dns queries, and then the router asks the DNS servers of my ISP, which are assigned dynamically to my ISP when it connects. The DNS server inside my openSUSE server knows nothing about those DNS servers the router is querying. When my ADSL link goes down, and my computer asks the router, this one can not resolve, and it is then when it sends those ICMP packages back to the computer with that information, which can not be tracked to any prior packet and then rejected in the firewall. Marcus dedicated too much time to investigate this. It appears that it is harmless, and there is no need to dedicate more time to it. I'm happy with the resolution. Anybody wanting to read more details, they are in the bugzilla. As to the other things that people in this thread said they might be broken, they are outside my understanding, so it is up to them to investigate further if they think it is interesting enough. Thanks a lot to everybody, specially for Marcus for his time. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
