if you let your computer infected, there is nothing a firewall can do.
it should be some sort of "apparmor" for Windows, monitoring wich
application do what. It's not the scope of a firewall and
SuSEfirewall2 never protected your agianst such thing, anyway if the
spy uses a classic internet protocol (http), you can only cry :-(
no, in windows, a firewall can do that..
then it have some functions more than a firewall
that my spyware-killers do not work.. (please do not forget my decade of
windows use ;-)
they should. In France, secuser.com links to free spyware defender,
very effective. I have an XP box, no firewall on it and never infected
(never for a longtime, though)
Sorry, it is the client and the server, i thought of an aplication like
server-edition.. euh..errr..;-)
default openSUSE install are usually quite defensives and allow little
open ports and little running servers (I'm not even sure that sshd is
running by default)
access must be done on the host:
* by a standard protocol (smb, ssh, ftp, http...) accepted by a server
* by two applications sharing the same port
yes that is the procedures..
so what is the server you fear to be broken?
Offcourse there has to be a change to change something.
In this case i did not change a thing.
Why should i?
It worked, and i never change something that does its job well..
again, that is why i call the firewall inconsistant..
If it is too much trouble to config it right, i shut it off, no big
deal..(router is sufficient, and one pc can use DHZ )
yes it is.
however no firewall and certainly not on Linux can change by itself
:-), so something must have been done, evidently accidentally :-).
what you could do is:
* backup the /etc/sysconfig folder (it's small , do a complete backup
of it)
* do "SuSEfirewall2 stop" to stop the firewall
* remove the /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
* in yast, force the reinstall of the firewall, like this you should
recover the default config file
hope this works
