an unknown error? run it from a command line, and you're bound to get more than that.

The program starts but it says firewall not started thats when it says uknown error

I had the same problem. The program just wouldn't work. It did start but it couldn't start start filtering or change any configuration. The Suse 9.2 binary worked, but the old Suse version apparently logged firewall to /var/log/messages while 9.3 logs to /var/log/firewall. That's why the old binary doesn't show activity in the real time display unless you tweak the used log file. I got rid of Firestarter anyway since it kept jamming my outbound connections. I couldn't figure out why.

Any suggestions on a good easy firewall to use
Thanks
