Hi, I have a system that was upgraded to OpenSuSE 15.6 x64 and now firewalld is whimpering about a service called wsdd.  Whenever I try to make a change with firewall-command,  such as adding or removing a service to be allowed/disallowed by the firewall, and then trying to update my permanent setting from my runtime settings,  I get bitched at by firewall-config and get told to run the following command -

#firewall-offline-cmd --check-config
Configuration error: INVALID_SERVICE: Zone 'internal': 'wsdd' not among existing services

Any ideas why firewalld is belly-aching about  "wsdd"?  My Duck Duck Go searches tells me that wsdd is used to make shared files and directories visible to MS machines, which is a feature I want. Further research shows that there is no package in the repositories for wsdd for OpenSuSE 15.6, is this being dropped? If so, how do I fix this mess and retain the ability to share files with  Windoz systems?

As always, many thanks in advance for taking the time to help me out and guiding me back into the OpenSuSE light!   Marc..

Hi Marc,

first try to remove the service from the "internal" zone (as indicated in the error output) using firewall-cmd:

```
firewall-cmd --zone=internal --remove-service=wsdd --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
```

Should this not be successful, then manually remove it from the configuration. Open the file /etc/firewalld/zones/internal.xml in an editor, and remove the line `<service name="wsdd"/>` (or similar). Then use `systemctl restart firewalld` (reload would normally suffice, but restart might be needed if it's already not responsive to the firewall-cmd operations).

I don't know about what happened to "wsdd".

Best,
Georg
