Thanks I meant to add that when I reboot, I see firewall stage 1 of 3 ok firewall stage 2 of 3 failed. On Wed, 5 Dec 2001 00:54:28 +0200, Togan Muftuoglu wrote:
Hi David
There happens to be a kernel security update and hence the reason iptables is the userspace module so netfilter parts are updated in 2.4.7
I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Having seen all the problems here with people installing kernels I wanted to avoid it. I mean I can't even install a firewall ! Is it straightforward or fraught with problems. I have found 2.4.10 on a mag cover disk. Will this do, or do I have to download from Suse, and if the latter must it be direct to Linux since the only firewall I have running at the moment is on a Win box.
No "#" was to make sure you have the root prompt
I forgot the case - makes a difference. So ok it is installed now.
just to be sure check with
rpm -q iptables
That gives iptables-1.2.1a-37
well once the INSTALL file works its way it should
same as above
Can someone put me on the right road please (basic instructions appreciated)
Make sure you have the START_FW=yes in /etc/rc.config Because of the above, I assume, the above command is not recognised
actually as corrected before it sgould be START_FW2
Yes I guessed that
once all done issue rcSuSEfirewall2 test
Likewise with this
once installed it should else
/etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2 test
Bad command with that. SuSEfirewall2 is not in that directory. There are 3 SuSEfirewall2 files there with extensions final, init, setup
try again as I mentioned with the ./INSTALL
