[S.u.S.E. Linux] INETD and Firewall
I have 2 questions. One ==== I trying to stay with configuring only through YAST. But it doesn't always seems to be convenient. For example, I wanted to change the configurations in the dynamic linker configuration file (ld.so.conf). I could not do it through YAST, so I did it manually. Nexttime when I run SuSEConfig or YAST, I get messages like "/etc/ld.so.conf has been modified. Leaving it untouched." Should I be concerned about such messages from YAST? Two ==== I started the Firewall using YAST. I want to limit telnet and ftp, from internal hosts ONLY. It looks like my systems are visible from the Internet. I want my systems to access Internet hosts, but I don't want to give access to my machines. Can this be done through YAST? If I make modifications to /etc/inetd.conf manually, will it disturb the integrity of the YAST configuration DB? Thank you.

Only knowing the answer to Question 1. No. You don't have to worry about the messages other than if you choose to further modify the file, you need to remember to manually edit. I edit most of my config files by hand also. -Dee ---------------------------------- W.D.McKinney (Dee) deem@wdm.com No Claim to Fame, Saved by Grace ---------------------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
the correct way to modify /etc/ld.so.conf in SuSE is to make your additions to /etc/ld.so.conf.in, then run SuSEconfig On Thu, 9 Jul 1998, W.D.McKinney wrote:
