Re: [LUG] Firewall - Help Please

My question is: should I either disable the SuSE personal firewall

leave it running?  

If you do turn it off, only do so AFTER you have got your new/main
firewall up and running, and you are happy that it works as it should do.  
If you are having problems once your new firewall is up, then your log 
files should tell you where to look for the problems.

Personally - i'd leave it both on.  Layered defence and all. :)

Cheers,
