Hello,
I'm really lost at the SuSE firewall 2. As far as I can see, the ONLY firewall in place is the SuSE firewall, but it doesn't seem to matter what rules I configure, it keeps blocking those ports I thought I'd just opened. The system is up to date as far as patches are concerned.
I'm wondering what other mysterious component is acting as a firewall?
I recently upgraded from 8.2 to 9.2 I did not see any errors, but did notice that the default KDE login screen keeps saying 8.2 instead of 9.2.
Please give me some direction to look for.
Hi! It's aways the rtfm that most newbees have problems with. Before using a software read the manual. Manuals are unter /usr/share/doc/packages/PACKAGENAME. Before not reading any manual you can't ask questions. On the (ols) SuSE pages under support there is a support-database which answers many questions. An unofficial SuSE FAQ you will find here: http://susefaq.sourceforge.net/ The SuSEfirewall works as follows: rules for machine internal requests external requests router: forwarding of internal and external requests to internal machines. The explnanations for each rule is in the file /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall. To restart the firewall to take changes affect type "/sbin/SuSEfirewal2 stop" and "/sbin/SuSEfirewal2 start". This is imo the safer way than /rcSuSEfirewall2 restart as some rules are not reseted propper. Reguards Philippe - -- Diese Nachricht ist digital signiert und enthält weder Siegel noch Unterschrift!
