Sorry, I forgot to clarify myself. I'm running SuSE 7.3 Professional. I currently don't have any custom firewall rules in place. I only have holes punched through the firewall to let our scrificial host talk to the real hosts inside our network. I'm doing this using the "FW_FORWARD_MASQ=" line in '/etc/rc.config.d/firewall2.rc.config'. My question is, how do I restart the firewall to re-read that file. I tried 'SuSEfirewall2 stop/start' but it appears to only try to reload any custom firewall rules. Maybe I'm doing this the hard way. If any of you know a better way to do this, please let me know. Thanks again.
I run the same version you do, and long since have found that Shorewall is vastly easier to set up and understand, and far more flexible. http://www.shorewall.net/ And restarting shorewall is as easy as "shorewall restart". In my humble opinion... <dons combat helmet>... Suse should just build Shorewall into their distro and put their firewall man-hours to better use. -- _________________________________________________ No I Don't Yahoo!
