[Sheflug] Re-booting

[John Southall <nospam [at] jrwsouthall.demon.co.uk>]

Hi all,
It works.
I got the proxy/firewall to work, but with a few problems.

First - I did some of the configuration in yast1, some by directly
editing /etc/rc.config and /etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config and some
by using ifconfig. With ifconfig the changes seem to take effect
immediately, but with yast1 and direct editing I am having to reboot the
system (shutdown -r now) for the changes to take effect. Is there a
quicker way?

Second - the server cannot use DNS, but the workstations can. This means
I cannot point the server at the ISP web cache,  it says "Hostname not
resolved". I am working on this at the moment, I suspect it is a fault
with an ipchains rule, will post details as soon as possible.

Regards
