Got the following message when running GRC.com's firewall checker. Any idea how to set up my firewall to drop instead of reject? I'm running Suse 10.1 I don't find anything in YAST for setting up the firewall or changing anything, just turning it on or iff.

"Unsolicited Packets: RECEIVED (FAILED) — Your system's personal security countermeasures unwisely attempted to probe us in response to our probes. While some users believe that "tracking down" the source of Internet probes is useful, experience indicates that there is little to gain and potentially much to lose. The wisest course of action is to simulate nonexistence — which your system has failed to do. Your counter-probes immediately reveal your system's presence and location on the Internet."

you can change your INPUT policy from REJECT to DROP like:keep in mind that you might instead be filtering with a REJECT rule (instead of a policy), and in such a case you'd need to change the rule, or get rid of it and use the policy... having said that, are you sure this is what they mean with counter-probes?? cuz the way they write it it sounds like your box did a port scan of theirs or something... anyhow, just wondering...

Not sure what they mean. Also not sure which rule to change the reject to drop for.
