Under RedHat the iptables config file is stored in /etc/sysconfig/iptables

Where is this file under SuSe 9.1?

I'm not positive but if you compare the file you are referring to from Red Hat to the file called /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 in SuSE, I think that they are the same file. HTH's /Peter

No it isn't quite what I am after : (

To explain a little more..

If I config the firewall through webmin I can see 8 explicitly opened inbound ports, but the only thing in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 relating to iptables is commented out.

# iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -m state --state NEW,INVALID -i ippp0

On my RedHat box the firewall was setup in the same way (through webmin), and in /etc/sysconfig/iptables I can see the commands that set this. (see below)

:INPUT DROP [0:0]
-A INPUT -m mac --mac-source XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m mac -s 128.1.1.24 --mac-source XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT ...........and so on

I'm looking for the equivalent file under SuSe

Have a look at the script /sbin/SuSEfirewall2. It will contain all of the chains for your firewall that are currently set although they are set using environment variables but that shouldn't really matter. In RH, I think that they file you are talking about is a shell script right? If so, then i think this is the file you want.../p

W00!
Yes thats what I was after.

Thanks.
