Guarddog

The guarddog firewall program would be great to have as a pacman package.

What about snort.....

trey · 2004-03-25 15:14:51

Snort, as I understand it, is more for network intrusion detection whereas guarddog is a GUI frontend for IP tables.

Alas, it appears a lot of these (including firestarter which IS in the repositories) have very spotty or non-existant support for the 2.6 kernels.

Mr Green · 2004-03-25 15:19:07

looking at Guarddog it has 2.6 support...

trey · 2004-03-25 16:24:32

Yes, it appears that this is kind of 'newish' so it should work. I've put a bug in the bugtracker that the version in the repository needs to be updated to support 2.6.

What's diffirent about 2.6 firewall stuff? I use fwbuilder with no problems on 2.6.

trey · 2004-03-25 23:21:07

Not sure specifically, but this is the error I get on trying to install firestarter:

[root@salamander trey]# pacman -S firestarter
:: firestarter conflicts with kernel26. Remove kernel26? [Y/n]

So *some* type of changes have occured between 2.4 and 2.6 that it's having an issue with.

I'll try fwbuilder.

How did you install it? I made a package with makepkg and it doesn't work: when I run guarddog this notice pops up:

An error occured while reading the protocol database.
Details: "Unable to open the network protocol database XML file."

in console:

bash-2.05b$ guarddog
QFile::open: No file name specified

my PKGBUILD:

pkgname=guarddog
pkgver=2.2.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A firewall configuration utility"
url="http://www.simonzone.com/software/guarddog/"
depends=('kdelibs')
source=(http://www.simonzone.com/software/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('9272553b075fedb851e385d40e9602db')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

namcap output:

bash-2.05b$ namcap guarddog-2.2.0-1.pkg.tar.gz
guarddog   W: Library /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1 has no package associated

Mr Green · 2004-03-26 16:14:59

Downloaded tar.....unpacked read install doc ...followed that then at $ guarddog..

Did you pacman -A <package>?

Mr Green

Thanks, I got it now. Looks like it works, at least with kernel 2.4, though I didn't test the firewall yet. I also didn't find any info about 2.6 kernels, I just read it is strongly recommended to use 2.4 kernel and iptables, but that section was about 2.2 vs 2.4, the 2.6 is not even mentioned.

Well that looks good.....I am running 2.6.3 so I guess we will just have to see....

I'd say that's a bug in the package and should probably be submitted as such. There's no problem with 2.6 and iptables. Not only that, but just because someone has the 2.6 kernel installed doesn't mean they're running it.
