That is a strange message. Guarddog is only a front end to iptables/netfilter. It does not "run" on startup, only /etc/rc.firewall is run. Also, gaurddog is a KDE3 ap only. According to the author, it does not run on KDE4 and it is no longer being maintained. > > One time the boot procedure hung with the message "Setting up > prelinminary keymap...".

I would not run a system without a firewall, but I guess it can depend on what you are running and what ports are open to the public.
