Hi Florian,

You can use the boot.local (/etc/init.d/boot.local) to add the commands.
The boot.local is executed right before the runlevel change.


That sounds like The Wrong Way.

If you use the SUSE firewall tools, it's best to use them properly, not
work around things you don't understand. How would your successor be
able to do it.

I use RHEL-clone and Debian with shorewall, and not SLES much at all so
  I can't really comment on specifics, but I have the impression that
some other parts of SLES expect the firewall scripts to work in a
certain way, so substituting others may not be practical. OTHO SUSE
configuration tools are, in my estimation, generally better than RH's,
and Debian doesn't assume one uses a firewall at all (but provides
several tools for managing them).

In your position, I'd start by reading the documentation. All of it.
