    Of course. Just enter on a console, as root:

    SuSEfirewall2

    and you are done. All services have similar commands; all of them reside
    in /etc/init.d/. Most of them start with rc, so, on a console (as root),
    "type rc [tab][tab]" and you will see them all well, (almost).

    The "SuSE User Gide" and the "Administration Guide" makes good bed reading
    material. Just read a chapter before going to sleep every night, and you
    will be there :-)
