daniewicz Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I decided to remove guarddog and go with the native firewall which is accessed through MCC on my 2005 LE box. After configuring, a service shorewall was turned on. I also noticed that the service iptables was off. Is this normal? My feeble memory tells me that when guarddog was installed and running, the service iptables was on. I tries a search here on MUB, but found nothing.

aioshin Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 AFAIK, shorewall is just like guardog, it depends on iptables, so they should be running at the same time... well, you can just define it to be always on via MCC, so as with shorewall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted December 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) Well I did a little more searching, and came up with this 2003 thread: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=10514 It appears that what I am observing is normal. Iptables is a module, the iptables service loads it then dies. Edited December 26, 2005 by daniewicz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 iptables is a kernel module, and shorewall sends iptables commands directly to the kernel, so iptable (the service) shouldn't be running. Guarddog send iptables commands to the iptables service so the service needs to be running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
