If I config Iptables with guarddog in KDE and then.
Switch to Windowmaker do I need to run guarddog again?
The reason I ask is that I cannot do it in windowmaker, for some reason sudo does not work. |
If sudo does not work, make sure you have added your username to sudoers (search for the file and read man sudo). If you mean you don't get a graphical box asking for password, then run the command from terminal (I just assumed guarddog is a gui app for the topic talks about KDE, sorry if I misunderstood).
If you deal with iptables, you don't need to re-run them if you switch to windowmaker. Windowmaker is just a window manager, and KDE is just a desktop environment (which includes a window manager), so what you did was just switch the program you use (from KDE to windowmaker). Iptables, on the other hand, is a process that does not care whether or not you even use graphical environment or console. Iptables just deals with the connections, not KDE or windowmaker. |
I just use guarddog because I dont know how to use Iptables manually and would probably forget anyway. Thank U.
