[olug] SuSE 9.1 problems

[Craig Wolf]

I have that running.  Adam was "THE MAN" in helping me get it working
but NOT with the SuSE Firewall, he gave me a simple script to do it. 
Give me a holler if you  would like a copy of it to look at and use if
you want.  8)

Does anyone have SuSE 9.1 running on a server with 2 NIC cards?

Is it running on the Internet on one of the NIC cards?

Do you have SuSEfirewall2 running?

I am trying to setup SuSE 9.1 to replace an older Red Hat web server.
I am having problems getting SuSEfirewall2 to block ports on the
external
NIC but allow them on the internal NIC.
I want ports 25, 80 and 443 on the outside.
I want 20,21,22,25,80,110,143, 443, and samba on the inside.

I see SuSE 9.1 with kernel 2.6 is using a modified network system so it
ties
iptables to the MAC address instead of an interface name like Red Hat
and
kernel 2.4.

Any advice on how to get firewalling working on SuSE 9.1 will be
greatly
appreciated.

I have read the book that came with the CD/DVD's and read the online
doc for
SuSEfirewall2.
The /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 file is commented well but not sure
how it
works.
It differs from the printed doc info.
