A little off-topic of this thread, but is there a curses-based firewall configuration tool in some Ubuntu package repository? Firestarter is nice, but I want to run a router without X and am always pressed for time when I want to sit down and learn more of the details of iptables.
I suppose a good solution would be for me to take the iptables rules\ from my Ubuntu server running Firestarter and make a service out of it in init.d . Shouldn't be too hard ... Thanks for your help! Andrew On 8/18/06, Neil L. Little <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I had replaced the contents with a list I found on the Ubuntu Forum. I neglected to add the country code on the front of the urls. After I did this and did the apt-get update I was able to get my package. Thanks for the help!
