Re: [Firestarter-user] Firestarter-user Digest, Vol 47, Issue 1

[<rm....@ja...>]

There's a bit of a difference.  It's iptables that is securing
the server.  Firestarter is simply the front-end tool that
translates the list of rules from something a sysadmin can
readily understand to something that can be fed to iptables.
If the each change to the ruleset is tested successfully,
there isn't a problem.

Now, someone who doesn't test ruleset changes: That's scary!

Just a thought...
