SuSE security discussion: [suse-security] Marc Heuse's firewall

[suse-security] Marc Heuse's firewall package and SAMBA

At the moment I am running version 1.8 of Marc Heuse's firewall configuration scripts.

I use this at home on a superduperdoitallwithoneoldcomputer box
that does DNS, SAMBA, DHCP and a lot of other stuff
that I think it needs to do.

The problem is in the SMB and NMB services it runs. It deny's packetes that
were broadcasted from itself from these ports (137:138) and IP 192.168.0.1 an coming back to 192.168.0.255

Now I do not have a problem with the denying, but the problem is they get logged.
Since this system will run on 24h/24h basis this does fillup my logs and the box
does not go into a powersave modus.

Tonight I will install version 1.9 of the script and I am wondering if I can make a small change somewhere
to relieve myself of this logging.

BTW. I know that a box is less secure the more it has running but I just want my own "onedoesitall"

BB, Arjen
