The packages are not incompatible, it is just the use of them. Both of the packages use iptables directly. guarddog will re-run it's rules whenever an interfaces goes down or comes up. If the user or another application add/removes rules after guarddog has run, it will not stop them. The scenario you describe suggests that firestarter, or the user, is deleting guarddog rules or changing the policy on the interfaces, not something guardddog will protect against (nor should it). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
