AW: AW: Disabling FW during installation of SLES12

Hi Frieder!

> The problem is that I need to access the console of the server (either to stop the firewall or to reboot it)
before I can SSH into the box.

Hm, I'm not quite sure if I fully understand the problem.

Sounds like the firewall is disabled, but not stopped, so either stopping it manually or rebooting the server stops it.

Had that once, when I missed the start_firewall part and only had enable_firewall set to false.

As far as I can see from /var/log/YaST2/y2log on a newly installed server the firewall is disabled and stopped very early.
This happens while our server still has its DHCP-based IP configuration (static IP is configured via ask-list in the initial stage).

What we have in addition to the firewall section is <firewall>no</firewall> for each network interface, perhaps this is something you might want to check.
But anyway, on our servers SuSEfirewall2 is completely disabled and inactive after auto-install.

Maybe your whole <firewall> section is in the wrong level of autoyast.xml...
Ours is between <profile></profile> and not in <general> or anywhere else.

Greetz,
Zimo
