Dear List members,
Performed an upgrade (yast2) which included a firewall security(?)
upgrade. Tested access to the server from a machine that normally should
not have had access (blocked IP), and found that the server was pretty much
open to the World. Not Good :-(
No worries thought I... just "iptables-restore < my-previously-saved-ruleset"
But, there must have been some significant changes in the firewall
implementation, or at least its ability to read previous rulesets.
Now when I did "iptables -L" I just got a blank list - no rules at
all!!! And the server (now turned off) was wide open to all comers.
Question: is there, somewhere in the SuSE repository, the default (new)
ruleset that I could just insert a la iptables-restore?
Or will I need to remove iptables and re-install it from the CD set, then
do another yast2 upgrade to get back to where I was a short time ago...
ready to edit in my rules?
Thanks in advance,
Denis
