Firestarter with KDE 3.1?
 

The Firestarter firewall is a GNOME application but on their website they say "it works with KDE too".

Any experiences out there if this is mainly true and what´s to be taken into account when trying to get it working? Thanks for any opinion.

Firestarter works OK on KDE, but I prefer GuardDog. It's really simple to setup and has a great tutorial in the help file.

Hi Johnny

Firestarter works fine for me (using KDE Slack 9.1) , compiled it and it runs ok and works fine

cheers

Thanks synapse and Baldrick65 for your comments.

I didn´t manage to install Firestarter from source (dependancy hell) or find an rpm for SuSE 9.0 but I then did find a SuSE rpm for guarddog and the rest was a breeze. Set up the thing in 15 minutes, all ports sucessfully stealthed, Samba for the LAN worked immediately. Very, very nice.

Here´s the URL to the download, if anybody else is interested:
