Dear All I've written my own firewall script which is probably a bit over the top but it did help me to learn more about firewalls and why people spend so much time writing them. I'd like to use the SuSE firewals RPM but it's about the only thing in SuSE software that I don't like. Apologies to Marc Huese for saying that. I know he's put a lot of work into it and he continues to do so. I'll look forward to further developments from Marc. What I'd like to know is how to tell my SuSE 7.0 dialup system to start the script at boot time. I can do this with various other bits of useful software but can't work out how to do it with firewalls. Best I've done so far is a small crowd of Red Hat users giving me all sorts of information.
