FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP (firewall)
With this variable, define the services available for the internal network. The nota-
tion is the same as for FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP, but the settings are applied to
the internal network. The variable only needs to be set if
FW_PROTECT_FROM_INT is set to yes.
FW_SERVICES_INT_UDP (firewall)
See FW_SERVICES_INT_TCP.
After configuring the firewall, test your setup. The firewall rule sets are created by en-
tering SuSEfirewall2 start as root. Then use telnet, for example, from an
external host to see whether the connection is actually denied. After that, review /var/
log/messages, where you should see something like this:
Mar 15 13:21:38 linux kernel: SFW2-INext-DROP-DEFLT IN=eth0
OUT= MAC=00:80:c8:94:c3:e7:00:a0:c9:4d:27:56:08:00 SRC=192.168.10.0

OPT (020405B40402080A061AFEBC0000000001030300)
Other packages to test your firewall setup are nmap or nessus. The documentation of
nmap is found at /usr/share/doc/packages/nmap and the documentation of
nessus resides in the directory /usr/share/doc/packages/nessus-core
after installing the respective package.
