Hi gurus and list, - this one puzzels me. Just to make sure, I have to ask the obvious... - I've got this virginal, brand new openSUSE11.3 plain vanilla install. - i can SSH into it FROM THE LOCAL NETWORK...but if I make a port forward from my firewall (ASTARO) of port 22 into the machine, I get NOTHING. This is obviously a firewall/forwarding problem. Only if I do the same firewall/forward exercise to another machine (openSUSE11.2) on the same network, it works just fine... I still think (absolutely) that I've got a firewall/forward problem. I suppose this wise group of list members concur? Because....the openSUSE11.3 machine will se the inner IP of the ASTARO firewall as the origin IP and hence will no know that the connection is really originating from somewhere outside the firewall. Right? PS: my /etc/hosts.allow and -deny are clean. No firewall running (on 11.3) and sshd.config looks straight and plain. ------------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
