I couldn't manage with that firestarter. Installed firestarter, but if I want to have notifications for port scan, etc, I have to run firestarter by command "firestarter" in terminal, then the firestarter icon appears in system tray. In MCC-Services service firestarter is enabled on boot. Is there any way to run firestarter on boot, so not to have typing "firestarter" in terminal?

I have searched with google all words containing "mandi" "ipt_IFWLOG" "IFWLOG extension" for a few weeks and nothing, but found the patch for Supermount. @ianw1974: I have been told about firestarter by my friend, but if I decide to install the firestarter, I am supposed to deinstall Shorewall first, is this correct?

Can you give me a link for those patches?

Thank you for the reply. Mandi is disabled now,but that isn't satisfy me, I want it working, if possible. Interactive firewall is good to me, because in my network there are so many stupid guys, using software such an angry IP scanner and other stuff like that, and I would like to be notified, when a kid, using stupid software, is trying to find my open ports, etc. I've managed to patch kernel sources with almost all stuff, to get Mandriva applications working- Supermount, Quickcam. Only mandi is a problem, but I think, if the kernels provided by Mandriva mirrors are patched with that module, ipt_IFWLOG, that means, that there is a way to patch kernel myself?

Hallo all! I'm not sure, that this is the correct section for my problem, but it's dedicated to kernel, except the other, and my problem is with the kernel, I think, that's why I decided to write here. I apologise, if I'm wrong. The problem is: Recently I downloaded from www.kernel.org the source of 2.6.17.7 kernel, built and installed it. I have patched the kernel with Supermount (followed instructions from here) and with the last releases of the iptables and ipsets from ipset.netfilter.org. There was no problems with precompilling/installing the kernel. In tne network section of "make xconfig" I set up all functions for netfilter, IPv4 and IPv6. Now kernel is working on my machine- AMD Duron 1100 MHz, 512 of RAM, GeForce FX 5500 256 RAM, Mandriva 2006, Gnome 2.10 - but with that kernel (2.6.17.7) the mandi daemon isn't working. If I try to start it manually, that is the result: [root@localhost ~]# service mandi start Starting mandi daemon: mandi_daemon_add_watch(): READABLE unable to open white list file nl_bind_socket: No such file or directory bind failed unable to init netlink unable to init "Interactive Firewall" plugin [FAILED] After a quite reading and browsing forums and googling, I discovered that mandi needs a module, called ipt_IFWLOG (ipt_IFWLOG.ko.gz), which is missing in my new kernel, but it exist in my old kernel- 2.6.12.22, installed via urpmi. [root@localhost ~]# locate ipt_IFWLOG /usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_IFWLOG.h /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-22mdk/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_IFWLOG.h /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-22mdk/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_IFWLOG.c /lib/modules/2.6.12-12mdk/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_IFWLOG.ko.gz /lib/modules/2.6.12-22mdk/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_IFWLOG.ko.gz /lib/iptables.d/linux-2.6-pom/libipt_IFWLOG.so My question is: Can someone help me to install that module, or just to tell me what should I do, to have mandi daemon working? How to have that module installed with 2.6.17.7 kernel? Thanks in advance I'm newbie, using Mandriva for about six months
