I have tried to setup fail2ban on a machine running OpenSuSE 11. Everything looks fine, except the machine restarts the firewall whenever the DHCP lease is renewed, thus flushing all the fail2ban rules (I think.). It seems to me that a quick fix would be to have the system restart fail2ban whenever the firewall is restarted. Has anyone else encountered this issue? .and come up with a solution?

I don't really understand the intent behind firewalld. The RHEL7 Security Guide states "A graphical configuration tool, *firewall-config*, is used to configure firewalld, which in turn uses *iptables tool* to communicate with *Netfilter* in the kernel which implements packet filtering". So is the goal for firewalld to implement a GUI for iptables? What is the "value added"

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi readers of this list, I have this nasty problem, that looks fixed, but everytime something else annoying happens... - From SuSE10.0, there are problems with browsing LAN, due to susefirewall, was said...and partialy this is true.. All kind of strange things, incompatibilities, or bugs, keep me from just browsing shares in the network... I filed a bug on this issue: Bug # 246770 Today, i removed ashare, that was created as test, and was not nessesary anymore, result: network invisible!...

...nks....Nick Geo Well, the order from Kernel inside outward is: 1. Netfilter (inside Kernel), not directly accessible by userland 2. iptables/iptables6, the userland cli tools to manipulate the Netfilter entries, mighty and complex, error-prone for casual use. 3. firewalld(RedHat/CentOS), or SuSEfirewall(Suse), or similar are the tools that simplify the task of creating the needed iptable rules, as not every one wants to write them by hand. 4. GUI tools, that allow to manipulate the config of firewalld (or similar), for those that are unfamilar with the command line, or want a quick an...

...is running as a "Workgroup" Network, because it is so small (only 5 PC's). Passw. : Encryption of passwords is disabled and all Win-Clients have the patch for plain password installed. Firewall: The whole LAN is definded in the trusted IP range. Also, the SuSEfirewall is configured (with YAST2) to NOT protect the server from internal, so it is really wide open from the LAN side to keep problems away. - So my problems cannot be caused by the firewall. (Again, I have a similar setup otherwhere, and there it works!) Basically,...

Hello, I''ve recently installed a hvm domU opensuse 11 guest and I cannot set the screen resolution higher then 640x480. This seems very strange to me, because I don''t have any problem to set higher resolution on a windows 7 domU, using the following parameters in the configuration file: stdvga=1 videoram=16 What could the problem be? Is some video driver missing? -- Flavio
