I would have placed under FW_TRUSTED_NETS as FW_TRUSTED_NETS="ip_of_ntp_server,udp,123"

I still do not receive separate 'firewall' logs and cannot find an option to enable them, or at least to enable them separately from 'messages' as is/WAS the case in SuSE 7.3.

The installation of the SuSEfirewall2 should have sent a warning mail to root which basically says the following Formerly, the postinstall script of SuSEfirewall2 automatically added an entry kern.* -/var/log/firewall to your /etc/syslog.conf file to send firewall related syslog message into the /var/log/firewall file. This is not done any longer. Add this line yourself if you like. Hope this helps -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx

Edit the file "/etc/syslog.conf", and add this line: kern.* -/var/log/kernel (or "firewall", but I prefer "kernel") Then edit this line: #*.*;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages and change it to something like this one so that kernel messages do not go to the general log (they can be megabytes long in minutes in case of some problems): *.*;kern.none;mail.none;news.none -/var/log/messages After doing those modifications, restart syslog (rcsyslog restart). Also, make sure the firewall or kernel message file is included in "/etc/logrotate.d/syslog" (I don't know if it was, because I modified it). -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Hi,

I have the same problems as about a week ago that kmail is crashing when a message is being deleted and kmail is used in thread mode.

Anyone else encountering this problem? It started after attempting to delete a message that was posted at Sunday evening around 2300 hours.

Delete the 'index' files in your ~/mail/directory. Kmail will regenerate new ones. Seems that an ill-formed message can play havoc with them.

Hello Patrick,

it's a message coming from you that is causing the problem. I've attached the located the exact message, please try to remember how you composed the message. Hopefully you can prevent composing messages that way.

Because of it I now get email belonging to thread "firewall blocks xntp system time maintenance" mixed with "kmail trashing again" :(
