Hello, Little thing probably, but I've not managed to solve it yet, reading ipchains docs. I have DSL and I am using pppoed. I installed a minimal susefirewall set of rules, and everything seems to work nicely. Just a little thing: when I try to connect to external hosts via ssh, I get about 3-4 such lines in my logs, and it takes really long to connect (5-10 seconds) : Mar 1 14:58:49 bigapple kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=1 195.186.133.129:3 195.186.1.111:3 L=214 S=0xC0 I=42750 F=0x0000 T=255 (#3) Mar 1 15:01:21 bigapple kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=1 195.186.133.129:3 195.139.143.170:3 L=88 S=0xC0 I=42872 F=0x0000 T=255 (#3) The funny thing is that when I connect to an old suse server (suse 6.x), it works directely. So that must be something with openssh/old-ssh. Any idea of what I could change to allow these icpm packets to come in ? Tried a few things, but not yet found the right line to comment.
