Hi Everybody,

I am fairly new to server administration so forgive me my fault ;-)

I just rent a new suse server that I just wanted to use as an ftp server for backup. So I thought it might be a good idea to turn off every service in yast except ssh and ftp.
That wasnt such a good idea as it turns out the firewall got up and running and bam I had no access at all anymore.

Lucky I can boot a rescue system but what now?
I mounted my hda1 to get a look on my now "secure Linux" but for all i know I tried ./mnt/sbin/chkconfig

of course this wasnt such clever at all as far as I got the result that everyhting is off cause I run the rescue system (again stupid me)

please someone has an idea how I can solve this?
I just want the firewall not to start when booting in my normal system but wihtout yast i am kinda not clever enough to manage this

so you got root access via the rescue system and the system with the firewall is mounted ...what now?

If you're at the local console you should use the rescue CD
to boot the installed system ... alternatively you could try to
chroot to the root of the installed system from where you are.

chroot /mnt


Cheers,
Tink

maybe i didnt made it clearly but thats exactly where I am now.

I booted the rescue system and I chroot the old system ...but I have no clue where to avoid the starting of the firewall ....
which files need to be edited in suse for such a thing?

yast isnt working as i wrote above ;-(
