Hi,
Has any one had any luck using "System Firewall"? I am going around in
circles try to enable the "Deny access by default" option. It doesn't
accept my password or the root password ?
When I enable "Deny access by default" I am presented with a "Log In"
dialog box with the following text
"You are not authorized to perform this action, Select a user or role
with proper authorization"
Select a user to administer host localhost,
Host: localhost:
Username: root
Using my main account or the root account fails.
Thanks,
Paul
I was able to find a solution! I cheated!
When you lauch PackageManager, you are prompted for the root password,
well I figure if could do the same thing for the firewall vpanel it
might just work.
Here is what I ran from the commandline (watch for line wrap).
/usr/lib/pm-launch /usr/bin/java -client -jar
/usr/share/vpanels/vpanels-client.jar firewall
If this really what you want then, you can do,
$ gksu /usr/bin/java -client -jar /usr/share/vpanels/vpanels-client.jar
firewall
pm-launch ultimately calls gksu.
-Ghee
First you are prompted for the root password then firewall vpanel is
run as the root user. Not perfect, but it works for me.
Hopefully it will be fixed in a later release.
Cheers,
Paul
