--- Begin Message ---Package: guarddog Version: 2.3.0-1 Severity: normal Guarddog's scripts contain these lines: # Load any special kernel modules. [ $GUARDDOG_VERBOSE -eq 1 ] && echo "Loading kernel modules." modprobe ip_conntrack_irc modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp I have these features built-in to me kernel, so modprobe fails and prints a warning message: modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack_ftp While true, this is misleading, since there is not expected to be such a module. A user may wonder whether the firewall has been properly established. One quick way to fix this is to use modprobe --quiet, but this may suppress helpful warnings in some situations, so a better solution would be not to call modprobe at all when there is no reason to call it. But I do not know how to check whether these features are built into the running kernel. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux beth 2.4.23 #1 Thu Jan 1 17:42:58 EST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 Versions of packages guarddog depends on: ii gawk 1:3.1.3-2 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii kdelibs4 4:3.1.5-1 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libaudio2 1.6b-1 The Network Audio System (NAS).

--- Begin Message ---Version: 2.6.0-3+rm guarddog was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) in February 2011 and removed from Debian sid/unstable later in 2011 (see http://bugs.debian.org/619736 for details on the removal). Since support for squeeze and squeeze-LTS has now ended, I'm closing all the remaining bugs reported against this package. Andreas
