OpenSuSE: Disable firewall completely
I was wondering… why I can’t connect through ssh. sshd daemon is running fine, so I found out that OpenSuSE installs its stikin’ firewall by default and blocks everything. I’m pretty well protected behind enough high end security devices, and don’t need to micro-manage my connection. Here is how I disabled the firewall altogether:
/sbin/SuSEfirewall2 off
To start the firewall:
/sbin/SuSEfirewall2 on
If you want to temporarily disable your firewall:
/etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_setup stop
Enter the above line without “stop” and you will see all available switches.

I turned *OFF* the firewall. Why did somebody think I needed a *SECOND* firewall to turn off?
