Being new to suse linux may I ask a few questions about suse security? I'm using suse 7.1 Pro and am confused about the firewall. Is there a difference in suse personal firewall and suse packet filter firewall? If different are they mutually exclusive or can they be run simultaneously. whan I boot suse personal firewall says "active" and if I turn on packet filter firewall in rc.config the boot message shows it failed. Does suse firewall use ip chains? What services in suse linux 7.1 are known to have security bugs. I shut down everything except httpd in inetd.conf Are there any file protection settings shipped in the distribution that needed to be changed? Anything else that is security vunerable? Can the ip number assigned to an email address give a path through ones firewall to break in? Thankyou, Jeff Barnes
