RE: [gentoo-user] iptables

The Firestarter kernel requirements doc says - 

*Device drivers 
	*Networking support [y]
		*Networking support 
			*Networking options 
				*Network packet filtering [y]
					*Network packet filtering 
						IP: Netfilter Configuration
(*)

"We recommend you enable _everything_ except ipchains support and ipfwadm
support as modules under this menu"

In case I did something out to bork this myself, I'm going to unmerge
firestarter and iptables, rebuild the kernel into the state it was before
this started (genkernel --kernel-config=my.old.config all), emerge iptables
(instead of letting firestarter emerge do it), make sure that iptables loads
up ok, then emerge firestarter and configure it.  That way, I can be sure
that it's not me just getting in a hurry to install a package...

Oh, John, to hell with "the doc you found" (which look to be from the
Wiki). No offense to the wiki (or to you), but you're really
overcomplicating this. You're probably better off with the Firestarter
docs found here

http://www.fs-security.com/docs/kernel.php

which are complete, and clear, and designed to work with the Firestarter
front end.... you know, "official docs"...? :)
