Use Redhat firewall script with SuSE9.1 ???

hendrixx · 07-06-2004, 05:00 PM

Hi all,

I have been using RedHat 9 for a while but i switched to SuSE9.1
recently (installed it 2 days ago).
My network seems to work now and Samba running.
But i want to use my old Redhat firewall script with SuSE.
I noticed that SuSE is using some sort of its own firewall program or something.
I know i can switch this of with YAST but how can i use my old redhat firewall with IPTABLES rules etc. ?
Any idea's ?

Thx
Jimmy

Check RHL's iptables initscript and you'll see it uses iptables-restore.

Thx for the help, but i found a solution.
I had to comment out a few lines causing some errors but now it works just fine.

Only one thing, with RedHat i could use the command : firewall stop (as root)
to stop my firewall from working and "firewall start" to start my firewall (or restart)
That is not working anymore, any suggestions why ?
