Bug 58673 – Firestarter init script missing after emerge

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description J.O. Aho 2004-07-28 10:08:16 UTC]

Firestarter uses a initscript as other services, but for gentoo this script is never installed (I guess this for the init script is written for RedHat based systems).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge firestarter


Actual Results:  
Firestarter build and installs, but no init script in /etc/init.d/

Expected Results:  
A init script souhld have been installed as /etc/init.d/firestarter

Firestarter init script for Gentoo

This is a remake of the original script, which aditional function "check" whcih
shows the 'lsof -i' output.

probably should have this fixed, firestarter is rather useless with an init script!

Alastair, I hope you mean, "firestarter is rather useless without an init script".

As without you will be forced to login and run firestarter (with access to the root login password) before you get your rules running. Of course you can add a line to /etc/conf.d/local.start, but that will leave the machine without protection for a while, which could be enough time for some script junkies.

uhh .. yeah :) d'oh

Whens this going to be fixed? I think is "more" than an enhancement. the firestarter docs assume that if installed from a packet it will provide init scripts... we need this package maintained, esp since version 1.0.0 is out now as well

Init script for firestarter 1.0.3

This works well for me... I used the 1.0.3 overlay in bug 80153...

[Comment 9 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2005-02-15 15:29:26 UTC]

I don't think it "need"s a logger does it?

[Comment 10 Marcello V. Mansueto 2005-02-17 14:51:37 UTC]

I took the depend section blindly from the iptables init file, since firestarter uses iptables

This bug seem to have been superseded by:
Bugzilla Bug 76450
Update firestarter to firestarter 1.0.3

[Comment 12 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2005-05-09 22:46:21 UTC]

firestarter-1.0.3.ebuild is in portage now, masked.  Please try it out.  I'll go ahead and mark this one DUP since 1.0.3 has an init script.
