Unfortunately the cavalry arrived after I surrendered. Had to do something, so I uninstalled Firestarter, then deleted all f/s files and directories. Thought I would have a nice clean sheet. So you know when you take things apart, put them together and they look fine, but don't work anymore. That's where I am. Can't even get the Suse f/w to work.
The words Murphy, Law and double-dratt spring to mind.
F/s is uninstalled. Have taken out Suse f/w, iptables, ipchains, put them all back, and still no working f/w. Can't work it out. I have done it before and it worked. Must be missing something somewhere. I know F/s must have a working f/w before you can install it.
It is really hard for me to offer any constructive advice there. As I have said, I am not very well-versed if firewalling, and I did the absolute minimum just to get the F/s window to appear so that I could play with the non-starting problem. Maybe a separate post to the List will produce an answer if all else fails.
I have written a new ip-up.local, and, just in case there is problem with your shell scripting, I am also going to send it as an attachment by private email. You will need to make it executable as you did before.
I appreciate that. As soon as I can get this working again I will try it.
I am reasonably confident that it will work. Don't forget the xhost + when the time comes. Regards, Geoff _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
