On my 7.1 boxen I find that I have:

"ls  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/*fire*" reveals:

  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K01personal-firewall.final@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K02SuSEfirewall_final@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K16SuSEfirewall_setup@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K23SuSEfirewall_init@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K23personal-firewall.initial@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S01SuSEfirewall_init@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S01personal-firewall.initial@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S08SuSEfirewall_setup@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S22SuSEfirewall_final@
  /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S23personal-firewall.final@

which are all links to elsewhere...

Just remove them (as root: rm /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/*fire*").

Anyone see problems with doing that?
