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.

I really didn't want to use /usr/lib/pm-launch, but that was to only way
to get the Firewall Panel to work. It never accepted the root password
so I couldn't apply the changes I made. Hopefully it will be fixed in a
later release.
Thanks for heads up on gksu.
Paul
