Description Bob Waskosky 2002-05-07 19:17:03 UTC
Greetings!
Please find attached firestarter.tar.gz containing firestarter-0.8.2.ebuild and
a patch that removes a couple useless gtk calls that would otherwise cause
firestarter to crash on startup in gentoo.

Firestarter is a very customizable firewall GUI for gnome/gtk+ but also works
without running gnome as the desktop. I like the ability to open/close ports or
allow/block hosts on the fly. ;) It builds a very nice firewall script IMHO.

The firestarter website is at http://firestarter.sourceforge.net/

I suggest net-misc/firestarter which is where your other firewall offerings are
located.
