Maybe it'll show you some error messages if you run it from a terminal after bootup. -Rob
As root I ran /etc/init.d/firestarter start and I got Starting the Firestarter firewall.... I ran iptables -Land I could see that iptables is properly doing "its thing". The rules are in place!
So, for some reason, firestarter isn't being started during the boot process.
So, I guess I have to find out whether the fact that firestarter isn't being started is because a) it hasn't been asked to start, or b) it has been asked to start, but with insufficient credentials (or, in some other manor, improperly). Have I got that right?
Since I'm not seeing any error messages in logs, I'm guessing that it hasn't been asked to start -- for some reason.
I'm horribly tired, and I've got to get some sleep. I'm going to try to look at this with fresh eyes tomorrow.
Thank you so much for continuing to work with me on this. Regards, Gilbert
