Firewall gurus ... I have been through the docs and I will confess I am looking for a faster solution. Please excuse what looks like a slack waste of bandwidth. I have got much help from this list and usually a point in the correct direction from here is enough. The issue ... I have a new SuSE 9.1 Pro installation. I have not done any configuration with Yast on the Firewall. To the best of my knowledge the Firewall is in place with only ssh access in. This is good. I now want to open my SMTP port 25. The is the only opening I will need at this time. Can some one send me the correct /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 entry? What do I need to do after I create the correct entry with respect to restarting the Firewall with the new config? I am fairly sure I know what to do with Postfix after the port is open. All comments welcome. Am I missing anything else? Thank you list friends. john ------------------------------------ John N.
