Adding to Firestarter's Default List of Services
When you want to make a rule to allow a new service using Firestarter, The "Name" box has a dropdown menu with several common services like http, ssh, ntp, etc.
I would like to add another service to that list, but can't find out how to do it. I've looked thru the obvious Firestarter configuration files, but can't find one that includes such a list.
Anyone happen to know how to do it?

Have a look at the Firestarter man or help page. In a console window type: man firestarter or type: firestarter --help

You think I didn't do that?!?!? I consider it fairly bad manners to knock a question off the zero replies list without actually contributing to a solution.

Whoa slow down!
Did you put in your post that you'd tried those things? No
Am I a mind reader? No
Manners has nothing to do with it, simply apologise for not including as much info as possible in your post. As a Senior Member you should know how to post a query in a verbose manner.
Further more I believe you should be looking for the policy file.

There is no "policy" file.
In the future you would be well advised to only recommend RTFM if you know the answer is there.

Ok, I should have said the file which contains the policy rules and oh yes, ' RTFM' (which would still have knocked your post off the zero replies list).

As I said in the original post, I read thru all the configuration files and rules files. None of them contain the information I am looking for. I suspect that information is compiled into the binary which strikes me as a clumsy design. I had hoped that some knowledgeable person would verify that, or present a workaround. Instead I got RTFM from a person who hasn't got a clue of what the manual says.
It's all well and good to try to clear zero-reply threads, but the objective is to clear them with something helpful.

if this is true, then grepping the source code should show you were the relevant parts are... even if you're not a programmer, you might be able to figure-out how to add your option... i'd probably start by looking at the service.c file...
that said, i would indeed expect an easier method to be available, but i have no firestarter experience so i'm not sure... =/

Aha. That's where they are all right. I can certainly see how to add my stuff into the source, and I think I can compile it. The big blocker left is that I'd like to get it back into a .deb file that I can install with aptitude.
Hmmm! I've always claimed that I wanted to learn how to do that. Maybe we'll see if I really did, or if I just liked the idea.
Thanks.
