I am installing Gentoo Linux/AMD64 on an Athlon 64 2800+ Uniprocessor CPU. I emerged firestarter 0.9.3 successfully. -There is no init script, netfilter kernel modules are only loaded when firestarter is started -Root Password Dialog Box fails to show up if I log in to GNOME as a regular user. I have to login to GNOME as root before I can start firestarter. -Firewall seems not functional. When I used http://grc.com shieldsup! to check the firestarter firewall, all the ports are closed only. By right, all ports are supposed to be stealthed. -When I tried to stop the firewall, there was a firestarter error: "There was an undetermined error when trying to stop the firewall" - Internet Connection Sharing (NAT) works though. I tried to surf the internet using one of the computers in the LAN and it works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.edit /etc/portage/package.keywords to include "net-firewall/firestarter ~AMD64" 2.emerge firestarter 3.login to GNOME as ROOT 4. Start Firestarter 5. Stop Firestarter Actual Results: When starting firestarter, it seems that it is not protecting the system When stopping, it fails to stop Expected Results: 1. Includes an init script 2. Properly firewall the system (stealth all ports instead of doing Nothing) 3. Able to stop the firewall successfully Single Athlon 64 2800+ Processor Motherboard based on the NVidia NForce 3 250Gb chipset 512MB DDR400 Single Channel ATI Rage XL ALC850 AC97 Codec 80GB SATA 52x CD-ROM Drive 1st Gigabit NIC based on Marvell 88e1111 2nd Gigabit NIC based on Realtek R8169 Both Gigabit NICs working 300W Power SUpply Unit
This bug seem to have been superseded by: Bugzilla Bug 76450 Update firestarter to firestarter 1.0.3
Give 1.0.3 a try. I won't be making any changes to the 0.9 series. Open a new bug if 1.0.3 has problems.
