Hi, I am trying to run a few services on a SUSE 9.0 machine (on a private LAN), such as webmin on 10000 and XServer on port 6000. At first I tried to use the SUSE firewall to no longer disable connections. Unfortunately, nmap still showed all ports to be closed. After giving up, I uninstalled the SUSE firewall and installed Shorewall.

After running 'shorewall clear', nmap showed the desired ports to be opened. However, connecting to them is still not possible.

I have also tried iptables -F (as root), but this did not get me any further either.

Does anybody know how to get rid of SuSe's apparent extra restrictions, so I can just use ShoreWall?

Cheers!

Please do not repeatedly post the same question. It makes replying to your questions confusing if you have two open threads. If you want to, you can just "bump" the thread by replying to it yourself with the word "bump". In the Security Forum most threads will get automagically bumped by one of the mods if they fall off the first page.
