Hey,
I just installed firestarter and entered it into my daemons array. Now I am wondering as firestarter uses iptables, do i have to manually enter iptables into the array aswell or is the firestarter daemon enough ?
As second quesiton would be; after a reboot, I dont see firestarter nor iptables running in ps -e is that ok, or should there be a running daemon listed ?

I don't believe you need both. Check the output of `iptables -nvL` as root will tell you.

Yes, that's normal. iptables is part of the kernel, so there is no daemon.

I recently found the script given here, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 13#p519613, to be very helpful for determining the status of all daemons.

mh ok, iptables is not required in the daemons array, however firestarter is only starting when I use network in the array.
Replacing network by HAL in combination with networkmanager (like suggested here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Daemons) does not work.
Is it actually possible to use firestarter for 2 interfaces (eth0 and wlan0) ? The Gui offers me a selection for one of those, but not both.
*edit* I also found this http://www.debian-administration.org/us … r/weblog/2 in combination with this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61773 it might work without the network daemon. But those posts are kind of old and the script was originally meant for ubuntu/debian, is it save to try that script without risking some kind of conf-fuck-up ?
