SuSEfirewall does not support iptables as shipped with 7.1, But it does recognized if you are using the 2.2.18 or 2.4 kernel and does the appropriate thing to setup ipchains. I was just playing with netfilter yesterday (and the day before that, and the day before that... ). I'm masquerading a subnet behind a dynamic ppp link. I hacked together a SuSEesque init script and iptables rules script to setup up a iptables firewall for a stock 7.1 system. I will send it to you if you are interested. Some good sites for netfilter: http://va.samba.org/netfilter/ http://www.BoingWorld.com/workshops/linux/iptables-tutorial/ http://ods.dyndns.org/ipt_flow.html http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jns/security/iptables/ http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/presentations/20010417 On Thu, May 03, 2001 at 02:36:19AM -0500, Harold ! wrote:

I am currently running ManDrake 7.2 on my "server" box, and and to replace it with SuSE (running the updated kernel. I know that IP Masq has been replaced with netfilter. My questions are as follows:
1. Is the neccessary utils bundled with SuSE 7.1 Pro (updated)? 2. Does the SuSEFirewall utility set this up? 3. If not Where can I find Idiot instructions?
