11.2 Users. Check your Firewall

[GSVRasputin]

openSuSE 11.2 x86-64 (KDE)Firewall is on

[consused]

Checked 2 m/c's with 4 fully updated 11.2 systems (2xKDE and 2xGnome).All have Firewall running as nomal from boot. They have all been rebooted since their last update.

We have reason to ask this of you following some strange firewall behaviour - But don't panic

If you use openSUSE 11.2 and you think:

1. Your Firewall should be running
2. You are not sure but think it should be

Please check and report back here.

This is how to check:

• Go to Yast > Security and Users > Firewall
