Hi there!

At last i have managed to install Slackware 10.0 (it was no problem at all

Now i must make some fine tunes to make my new Slack operational.

Found "firestarter" firewall and install it succesfuly but!!!

How to start it on boot?
Have DSL so it must be.Right?

In his manual i found this:"Starting the Firewall Manually at Boot Time

Add the lines "/etc/firestarter/firewall.sh", which is the firewall activation script, or "/usr/sbin/firestarter -s" to some suitable startup script. On SysV based distribution this is the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. "

So please can someone tell me where (t** H**l) are those files in my SW10.0?

Or atleast trow me some link to some document about those "tweaks".
(because all linux setings are:"You just have to change *** in /***/***/file and thats it")

I miss the "control panel" LOL.

Thanks.

Btw.Slackware rocks!

Another satisfied customer.

su
(put in your password)

touch /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall

(edit) chmod 750 /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall

pico /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall

Put "/usr/sbin/firestarter -s" in it

It should startup at the appropriate time. Reboot and check your

dmesg | less

To see if it loaded right.


possible pitfalls -- some firewalls require iptables modules (might require kernel compile)
