SLES11 SuSEfirewall2 issue

[netzpks]

the length of
FW_SERVICE_ACCEPT_EXT="…"
in file /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 is limited to 2048.

About this limit the variable is cutted off and the firewall does not work.

Is there a possibility to increase the limit of 2048?

maybe this helps (LINE_MAX)

Hi
Look in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services directory at the
TEMPLATE file and copy the TEMPLATE to a new rules file in there.
