Guarddog is +aimed at two groups of users: novice to intermediate users who are not experts +in TCP/IP networking and security, and those users who don't want the hassle +of dealing with cryptic shell scripts and iptables parameters. + +Guarddog should work "out of the box" on any standard stock Slackware 12.0 +installation. + +You will need to add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local in order to have +the firewall script that Guarddog creates started at boot: + if [ -x /etc/rc.firewall ]; then + /etc/rc.firewall + fi +It seems that Guarddog hard-codes this location, so there's no way to change +it when building. Since a standard Slackware system will execute a firewall +script at boot if one exists (and is executable) at /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall, +you might consider doing the following instead: + ln -s /etc/rc.firewall /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall |
