SuSE Linux: Version 7.2
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux. Therefore some of the informations given in this article may be outdated or the article may contain stale links.

Kernel: Version 2.4

Symptom

You use SuSEfirewall and have activated the masquerading function. The following message is displayed during the boot process:
Warning: FTP/IRC/Realaudio etc. masquerading does not work with ipchains and
the 2.4 kernel. Either move to a stable 2.2 kernel or use SuSEfirewall2!
Since you want to use the Kernel 2.4.x, you must deploy SuSEfirewall2. However, this software is not included in SuSE Linux 7.2.

Cause

Unfortunately, SuSEfirewall2 failed to meet the production deadline for SuSE Linux 7.2.

Solution

In the meantime, a SuSEfirewall2 beta version is available for download at:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/garloff/linux/SuSE/RPMS/

Please note that this version is not suitable for production systems.
