Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gufw
I installed Gufw. After the installation I clicked on the new installed
menu-item (System -> Preferences). I was not able to enable the firewall
nor to make any of the settings (all grey). Then I opened the terminal-
console and entered gufw. A dialog appeared asking for the sudo
password. Then I was able to set up the firewall. I closed the terminal.
I was able to enter Gufw (System -> Preferences) and to disable the
firewall. After disableing the firewall all settings are greyed out
again and I have to start gufw by means of the terminal again.
Why isn't the sudo-popup-dialog not invoked when you start gufw via
System-Preferences? And why can one disable the firewall without a
password?
