rpm -q SuSEfirewall2
with this command we will be able to know the version of SuSEfirewall2 and I would rather know it before starting bug hunting
grep -v ^# /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
With this command the output will be how you configured the firewall enabling to see if there is a configuration error or not
PS>It seems that I will install SuSEfirewall2 again. Is it ? why ? And What will happened on the file ?
I do understand your concerns about what will happen well you have couple of options 1) you trust and send the output 2) you do not trust read the man pages of rpm and grep and understand what is been trying to reach in order to help 3) Read Chapter 13 Network Security of SuSE-Linux-Adminguide-8.1.0.0dx86.pdf 4) download the SuSEfirewall2 manual from sourceforge to understand the three phase setup and all the other parts http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42064&release_id=127876 As you can see your options are there choose your own poison As you can see your options are there choose your own poison. I can not help since I am unable to recreate the bug/situation you mention -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
