Install program in sophos utm

Hi,

I think you fail to understand network security, allowing users to add software to the firewall could possibly compromise your firewall security and then you would blame sophos for failing  tp protect you.

I am aware of the consequences. Also I have protected my sophos with all the security rules it provides, for example you can only access the ssh and webadmin from my PC.

I would never blame Sophos, I think it's an excellent firewall

You help me?

Thanks

Gerardo, no can do. Although based on OpenSUSE, UTM is a closed system.

I understand, however there is some way to execute a custom script when starting sophos utm?

"Based on" Suse, Gerardo.  It's a stripped-down, hardened Linux that's been modified from an earlier version of Suse.  In 10+ years of active participation here, I don't recall anyone ever cracking the barrier and, as Ian observes, a responsible firewall maker can't depend on having a situation like yours - access to the device by only one careful, smart person with good training and good intentions.

you can generate a root crontab with

crontab -e

and insert there a line

@reboot <path to your script>

This voids your warranty...

this if I'm interested, thank you! I'm trying it on
