Description Jonathan Underwood 2006-02-03 16:33:54 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Using Fedora Core 4, firestarter causes problems with SElinux with the result
that on boot, firestarter claims iptables is not supported by the current kernel
(when in fact it is). The problem is that firestarter tries to start in dhclient
mode, which is not allowed to run modutils or iptables by the SElinux policy.
One fix would be to have firestarter run via dbus.

Reported downstream at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179248



Steps to reproduce:
1. install firestarter on a fedora core 4 machine
2. reboot
3. 


Actual results:
firestarter claims that kernel does not support iptables. Lots of SElinux errors
are generated

Expected results:
no errors

Does this happen every time?
yes

firestarter development has been stalled and it has been unmaintained for a few years now. I contacted Tomas Junnonen (majix@iki.fi) because he is listed as Developer on project page but didn't get any response. I found firestarter on fedora wiki [1] under deprecated packages so i am closing all the bugs as WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
