Hello all, I am using the SuSE firewall script, but I need to stop logging only on port 80 because I am running Apache. Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Well, I eventually got around to having a quick look at the SuSE firewall script (I don't use it myself). There's nothing in there that you could easily change to stop logging on *just* port 80. However, there is an option in /etc/rc.config (which controls what the SuSEfirewall script does) that can be set on a more general level. Here is the relevant section from /etc/rc.config: --- start --- # Which logging level should be enforced? # You can define to log packets which were accepted or denied. # You can also the set log level, the critical stuff or everything. # Note that logging all is only for debugging purpose ... # # Choice: "yes" or "no", FW_LOG_*_CRIT defaults to "yes", # FW_LOG_*_ALL defaults to "no" # FW_LOG_DENY_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_DENY_ALL="no" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_ALL="no" ---- end ---- The option you would change to alter this behaviour is to set FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT to no: FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT="no" However, this will turn off logging for *all* accepted packets, so you won't see if anyone has been successfully connecting to any other ports on your computer. It would be better to turn off logging only for port 80, as you want, but this would be slightly harder. If you want me to work this one through with you (that is, turn off logging *just* for port 80), then email me off-list and I'll see what I can do. Hope that helps and good luck, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
