Package: firestarter Version: 1.0.3-1.3 Severity: grave Firestarter service does not start on boot if Network Manager is used.
Firestarter init-script is in place: # ls -l /etc/init.d/firestarter -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1472 2006-06-18 13:21 /etc/init.d/firestarter # ls -l /etc/rc2.d/*firestarter lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2006-08-25 05:31 /etc/rc2.d/S20firestarter -> .../init.d/firestarter but Firestarter is not started. If I uninstall Network-manager, then Firestarter starts on boot. If I start Firestarter manually after boot, it works just fine even if Network Manager is installed. This makes me think that for some reason NetworkManager isn't bringing up eth0 device before Firestarter tries to begin. This means that Firestarter does not start because it does not detect the network. I think this is a severe problem. User could think he is protected by firestarter, when he is not. There is one solution. Save following script as file /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/50firestarter http://www.debian-administration.org/users/emeitner/weblog/2 Make the file executable. Here is the same script: ---- snip 8< ---- #!/bin/sh source /etc/firestarter/configuration 2>&1 # Check to see if the interface that changed is the one currently # protected by firestarter. If not, quit. [ "$1" != "$IF" ] && exit # Check the current status of Firestarter [ -e /var/lock/subsys/firestarter -o -e /var/lock/firestarter ] fs_status=$? case "$2" in up) [ "$fs_status" -gt 0 ] && /etc/init.d/firestarter start ;; down) ## Uncomment the following line to allow this script to ## turn off the firewall when the interface goes down. #[ "$fs_status" -eq 0 ] && /etc/init.d/firestarter stop ;; esac ---- snip 8< ---- -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages firestarter depends on: ii gconf2 2.16.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii gksu 2.0.0-1 graphical frontend to su ii iptables 1.3.6.0debian1-5 administration tools for packet fi ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.4-3 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.16-3etch1 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.16-3etch1 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.16-3etch1 Avahi glib integration library ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-3 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.14.0-5 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libesd0 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-5 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.16.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.2.3-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.0-4 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 0.6.0-3 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.16.0-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.14.0-2 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.14.2-7 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgnutls13 1.4.4-3 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.4-1 library for common error values an ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-7 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liborbit2 1:2.14.3-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 1:1.0.1-3 X11 Session Management library ii libtasn1-3 0.3.6-2 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-6 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1.1.7-4 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.1-5 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.27.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-5 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime firestarter recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
