As the SuSE kernel and some SuSE server packages have IPv6 enabled by default, I want to be sure that my SuSEfirewall2 is protecting these running servers.
What rules/chains should I look for? Do I need to add custom rules? (In my case I don't want to expose any of them to the dial-up interface. I use sshd over v6 on internal ethernet but only for convenience of configuration, I could switch to ipv4 if I need)
If you don't *need* a feature, security best practises say to turn it off, better even remove it. Or don't install it in the first place. Tobias
