Well, it didn't really tell me. I got to the point where it claimed that matching support isn't enabled, though it was. There seem to be different implementations of the firewall stuff, and I had to enable it at another place. These billions of network options seem like quite a mess ... Now I probably have enabled a lot of things I don't need. At least it's working :) -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
