Hi, to use UFW to I need to enable the iptables daemon?

Probably - iptables is at the heart of most linux firewall apps. It would help, though, if you told us what UFW is.

Universal firewall
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/ufw/
It's the easy way to setup iptables...
It's enough to put ufw in DAEMONS in rc.conf, no need for iptables...

it is not enough to put ufw in rc.conf
you must also enable ufw itself: "ufw enable"
I'm using this software for long time already - very very nice one

ufw (uncomplicated firewall) is a simple frontend for iptables and is available in the community repository.
I did as the wiki said, I punched in
sudo ufw allow ssh/tcp
sudo ufw logging on
sudo ufw enable
then I tried /etc/rc.d/iptables start
but I got this:
Cannot load iptables rules: /etc/iptables/iptables.rules is missing!

Good, I always miss the U as universal (it's uncomplicated as u've said)...

I would like to stress the importnce on entering
ufw enable
AFTER adding the rules. It seems to be the magic line that makes ufw apply the rules. Simply restarting ufw throught etc/rc.d/ufw doesnt work.
I know its kindda off topic, but it might help someone.
