Thanks for your help. I just tested the version I am running, 1.0.1-1, and /etc/init.d/firestarter start does start the firewall and /etc/init.d/firestarter status does say it is up and iptables -L does display the firewall rules. I do notice one bug tho, I have a script in /etc/ppp/ip-dowd.d to stop the firewall and it does, as shown the /etc/init.d/firestarter status script but the GUI status indicator still says it is active. As a Jedi you should remember that you have to explain the problem in more detail to us mere mortals. :-) WT -- You are making progress if each mistake is a new one. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
