SuSEfirewall2 is a frontend for iptables which sets up kernel packet filters,
nothing more and nothing less.
This means that you are NOT automatically
protected from all security hazards by using SuSEfirewall2. To minimize
security risks on a networked system obey the following rules:
● Run only those services you actually need. Think twice before opening
them
to the internet.
● Use only software which has been designed with security in mind (like
postfix, vsftpd, OpenSSH).
● Do not expose services that are designed for use in a LAN to the internet
(like e.g. samba, NFS, cups).
● Do not run untrusted software. (philosophical question, can you trust
SUSE
or any other software distributor?)
● Run YaST Online Update on a regular basis or enable it's automatic mode
to
get the latest security fixes.
