Re: [Firestarter-user] Fedora 9

[Janne A. <tr...@in...>]

Sorry for this top post, but my webmail don't allow me to make a proper
reply.

I would guess that the init scripts has slightly changed in FC9, I would
recommend
you take a look at one of the other init scripts, look how it handles
restart, rewrite the
firestarter init script to handle the reset in the same way and then post
the working
patch on the maillist.

For your second problem at the starting of firestarter, this has to do
with some feature
in iptables has changed, to debug this, you should include some echo
lines into the script
(on in the middle, if the echo comes before the error, then the fault is
in the second half),
you keep on doing the adding/removing of echo's until you found the line
causing the message
and then post that line here, and we try to figure out how to fix this
(earlier most of such
faults been when a feature has become unneeded).

  I runs at boot; just when my network restarts or I lose DSL, I have
  to manually restart.
  service firestarter restart does work as well.

    Have you tried: service firestarter restart?

    You can set it to auto-start at boot with:

    chkconfig firestarter on

    P.S. I have it running on FC8
