Chris, The Firewall tab in the web interface uses an additional level of abstraction for the firewall rules and then automatically generates either Arno 1.8.8 (AstLinux 0.6.x) or Arno 1.9.0 (AstLinux 0.7 and trunk) arno firewall variables.
The Firewall tab assumes a default, unedited firewall.conf. The /mnt/ kd/rc.conf.d/gui.firewall.conf contains the variables that overrides the defaults of the stock firewall.conf file. Any firewall setting not covered with the Firewall tab can be added via the Network tab's Advanced - User System Variables button (user.conf). Basically, the firewall.conf file is used to set defaults and documentation for the arno firewall, much like the /stat/etc/rc.conf does for the AstLinux system. I see Darrick has responded... well done. Lonnie On Mar 27, 2009, at 9:12 AM, Chris Abnett wrote: > What is the web interface reading??
