Description Peter Stieglecker 2003-05-05 09:16:05 UTC
Not a bug. I wanted to suggest adding a /etc/init.d/fwbuilder file to package 
net-firewall/fwbuilder. Attached is a script, that I use. I know it is not 
completly Gentoo like, but perhaps somebody who knows fwbuilder and ebuild 
better can complete it.

Me not like. Since fwbuilder is a graphical gui it doesn't get installed on routers and firewalls, and you don't always run a firewall on your workstation.

I recomend running the produced fwbuilder firewall script from /etc/conf.d/local.start.
