Hi! I found the following problem with SuSEfirewall2 on a SuSE 6.4 PC: I installed the scripts with ./INSTALL, configured the firewall.rc.config and when I boot into runlevel 2 (no X) and then make telinit 3 (xdm) everything is working. But if I boot directly into X (xdm/rl 3) X hangs, totally, no input is accepted, not even console switching. I think this comes from the parallelism of starting xdm and SuSEFirewall. Standard install makes the following: Snnxdm S99SuSEfirewall_final where nn is less then 99. So X/xdm starts and then SuSEfirewall2_final is called. When I put the firewall on S98 and xdm on S99 it is working. Strange is that on my laptop with SuSE 7.2 this is working, althoug X ist started prior to SuSEfirewall. Anybody knows why? Final question: Is it a problem that when the first and second time SuSefirewall is called (_init, _setup) not all net-devices are running? I have vmnet and usbnet which need some time to start up. Does _final recheck all the devices? Best wishes Norbert Hi!
