Possible problem with FireWall with Changes Active?

Post#1 by OldAndWeary » 19 May 2015, 13:22

Possibly there is an issue with the FireWall .

I have a 64-bit XFCE build with changes active (i.e. Saving everything)

If I turn on the FireWall under Porteus Settings Centre, this results in an edit to the file /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S-firewall.sh

As one would expect, this then gets saved across a reboot

BUT .. if I subsequently turn off the FireWall from Porteus Settings Centre, the file does not seem to get edited.

As a result, the FireWall remains active

... well it does for me anyway. I have had to edit the S-firewall.sh file to /etc/rc.d/rc.FreWall stop

Or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers John
