I hope you (and the horse) are rested.
Thanks for that. The poor boy was in a bad way. Had to get the Vet out in the middle of the night - I'll look forward to that bill coming in :(
Curiosity got the better of me. I compiled and installed firestarter. I saw your problem and I think I *may* have fixed it. It works for me.
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. 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.
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 think that you will have to enter my
command before you go online. Remember that you enter that as your own username and you should see It it works, there will, in due course, be a more refined way of doing things. I think that you will have to enter my command before you go online. Remember that you enter that as your own username and you should see : access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
Then go online.
