Yes, I realized that but it worked well for me in my ignorance of
iptables, especially for things like NFS. It immediately told me
what ports it wanted opened ...
Presently I am struggling with some voip applications that "almost"
work. The fix for one is to disable the F-12 firewall. I do not
disable anything routinely and usually most things I use work
without too much effort. Presently I am stumped, but it seems to me
there ought to be a log somewhere that tells what's being blocked?
Where did firestarter get the information?
Thanks.
Bob
