Subject: default startup order for firewall and yum-updateonboot
The default startup order has firestarter starting up after
yum-updateonboot (both from Fedora Linux Extras.) If you haven't booted
up the system in awhile, and yum-updateonboot is taking a considerable
amount of time updating,, you are vulnerable for the entire time
yum-updateonboot is working.
I have had my system updating for over an hour a few times in the last
couple weeks while booting, and if say, the system were vulnerable to a
rapidly spreading worm on the internet, you would be unecessarilly exposed
for that entire time, whereas if firestarter came up first, you would at
least have a reasonable chance of being protected by your firewall policy
while the system is updating.
