Firestarter logging - empty events tab

Does anyone know if there's an Arch "package update" for Firestarter on the horizon? - ie one that's going to fix the current empty "events tab" ??

It's not a huge problem checking /var/log/iptables.log, but would just be easier to have the events tab populated again.

Cheers.

Re: Firestarter logging - empty events tab

Apart from not getting the events, i also am unable to add /change any rules.

This happened after a re-install with xorg 7.

Firestarter appears to be using sit0 for internal network interface.

[root@julius ~]# ifconfig -a

It looks like sit0 is disabled, maybe this was changed in one of the updates ?

Anyone have an idea how to get sit0 active ?

Re: Firestarter logging - empty events tab

Since i couldn't add rules in firestarter and i needed Azureus, i switched to Shorewall.
Took me no more than an hour to configure it, including reading most of the how-tos .
