The init script for FireHOL 1.226 (and probably earlier versions) doesn't use $FIREHOL_CONF in the "try" action, which thus doesn't work if you don't use the default location. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Move fireholconf and change FIREHOL_CONF in /etc/conf.d/firehol to reflect this 2. Run /etc/init.d/firehol try Actual Results: Error message stating /etc/firehol/firehol.conf couldn't be read. Expected Results: Used the value of $FIREHOL_CONF to find the config file.

Created attachment 50795 [details, diff] Fix to firehol init.d script Patch to fix this bug.
I have checked in a fixed script that sets the config-file correctly. Versions 1.224, 1.226 and the new 1.226-r1 should all install the fixed version now.
