yes, that worked. thanks.
the firestarter is the one that overwrites my iptables.
I could remove it, but I simply wonder is there any other alternative.
I didn't find the way to disable it through GUI.
on startup it's always on, by default.
There are always alternatives.
firestarter has a GTK graphical interface, which should allow
you to turn it off.
i was hoping for somthing that easy.
however, in GUI, under Edit > Preferences I have
Start/restart firewall on program startup
Start/restart firewall on dial-out
Start/restart firewall on DHCP lease renewal
none of them are checked. But, anyway, it overrides if-pre.up.d settings.
perhaps this GUI doesn't like me.
the latter two works fine. but I dislike the option of having to install
and purge the package every time I want to test something.
To remove it from your system entirely,
# apt-get remove firestarter
or to destroy its configuration as well:
# apt-get purge firestarter
-dsr-
on Arch you can have many packages that do not work (even when
installed) unless you explicitly set it to work. I do not say that
Debian should be like that, just looking for a "simple way" to turn this
one off, preferably by stopping it form loading at the boot time.
I could think of one more alternative, like removing
/etc/init.d/firestarter but I'm unsure whether this will mess up
anything else.
Any other suggestions, or preferable alternatives...?
Thanks to anybody who cares.
