I use shorewall, because, although its all managed with a collection of small files rather than a GUI it seems easier to understand and easier to maintain.
Hi John. On my lan I used Yast to configure SuSEfirewall2. That's GUI and it works out of the box on an nfs lan. With samba on a simple 2 box setup it doesn't. EOS.
Folks, can we drop this now? i feel obliged to reply as I started this thread.but simply do not have the time to. I really do appreciate what you guys do and the time you spend here but I can't afford the time you do here. Thank you all once again for all the time you have given me. I really do feel guilty because this was not a work issue but a personal listening to music issue.
Don't be :-) Be assured that many have taken note of this, for future possible use when we have to configure a samba with firewall next time ;-) (And there is nothing wrong with using linux for home. Many of us try things at home that later may we use on business, or simply help other professional chaps with our home brew experience ) Indeed, if the YaST GUI is unable to configure the firewall for use with samba, it deserves a bugzilla. It should have a "wizard" for "Hey, I want samba" and be done - and work. I don't know if there is, I don't use the firewall GUI. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
