Hi all. I'm instaled SuSE 9.3 in a external disk (usb) in my laptop. I 've an hda (DVD/CD), HDC (Internal disk whith 2 windows partition hdc1/hdc2) and an external disk (usb) which was reconigzied as SDA. In the previous mentioned booting order. SuSE did by default: sda1 - FAT sda2 - SWAP sda3 - ext3 When the system reboots after instalation it does'nt find any partition. I try the safe mode with not result . any idea ? best regards Raúl H. Lapitzondo

New subject: SuSE 9.3 YAST interface

Hello all, I'm admittedly not a linux security guru so maybe I'm missing something but when I run YAST to configure the firewall in SuSE 9.3 I really don't understand at all. I have a single interface designated as the external zone. When I go to the "Allowed services for selected zone option" there are a bunch of services listed in the box: HTTP Server HTTPS Server IMAP Server IMAPS Server IPP Server LDAP Server LDAPS Server Mail Server POP3 Server POP3S Server Remote Administration Remote Synchronization SSH I don't want any of these services accessible on the external interface but if I highlight any of these and click remove they don't go away. In the end I want to make this machine the DMZ but I won't do that if these things are exposed. How do I disable these ports? Also how do I enable a series of ports? In the same allowed services screen there is an advanced button and if I click on that button and try to allow the port range 6881:6999 and hit ok, the message I get is: Unknown Port Name Port name '3881:6999' is unknown in your current system. It probably would not work at all. Really use this port? How does one designate a range of ports? Thanks, Andy

As long as those boxes are unchecked when you click next, the ports are closed. That's how it works on 9.2 and SLES9 so I'd assume 9.3 is the same.

Sounds like SUSE is complaining that it doesn't recognize these ports as doing anything useful. However, it still opens them up for you.

Boy, I'm 2 for 2 lately. Seems I need a lesson in using my mail client! Sorry for the blank post to all. -Nick __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
