Suse firewall - port forwarding

[djr111]

Hi,

I'm not really sure if I am doing this right, I need to forward port 80 to a non privileged port 8080

I tried:

FW_REDIRECT="0/0,0/0,tcp,80,8080"

I also tried

FW_REDIRECT="0/0,10.25.223.11/24,tcp,80,8080"

neither seem to do anything,

any help would be appreciative

thanks

why not use iptables to redirect?

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i your_external_interface -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.25.223.11:8080

or if you just need port forwarding

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i your_external_interface -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

If I could have sex each time I reboot my server, I would definitely prefer Windoz over Linux!

im not too familiar with them, the one time I used it, it did not seem to keep the config across reboots, is there something that needs to be done to make it permanent, even after reboots.

thanks

you must issue a

service iptables save

Anyway, if that does not work you can use the iptables-save redirecting the output to the iptables config file which in RedHat is normally /etc/sysconfig/iptables and it shoudl be the same in Suse.
