Nah, it's fine to me :-)
Anyway, I installed Firehol on a sid system that runs a kernel that I
have configured myself.
However, I get lots of errors when Firehol tries to start, like:
...
ERROR : # 1.
WHAT : A runtime command failed to execute (returned error 1).
SOURCE : line 31 of /etc/firehol/firehol.conf
COMMAND : /sbin/iptables -t filter -A in_internet -p tcp -m state --state NEW \! --syn -j pr_internet_nosyn
OUTPUT :
iptables: Protocol wrong type for socket. ...
I understand the mesage comes from your kernel, I mean, nothing wrong
in firehol.
I googled the error and there are lots of hits, but I see no clue as to
what the message actually means.
Obviously I have not configured the kernel correctly because with the
Debian kernels there are no errors.
But what kernel configuration parameter might be missing/wrong?
Can't tell for the exact parameter/option that controls this but what I
use to do when have to compile a new kernel is using the current ".config"
file which comes along with Debian stock kernel to avoid missing/messing
something.
