Firestarter starts as a service and is defaulted to start when you install it. If you have iptables and Firestarter services enabled to start at boot, you definitely can end up with conflicts and 'piled-on' rules. FWBuilder creates an executable script which you then run at boot time - there are various ways to make that happen, but again, you don't want to run that script on top of running the iptables service - it's one or the other. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
