(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

FULL menu version 1.5 added.

Both 1.5's have better directory structure and start up routine.

Using version 1.5 full in Lucid 5.1.1
If I select Quit & remove firewall status it removes the icon from the tray. OK.
If I go to the main menu>network and select Firewallstate- Tray applet it runs the firewall install shell but no icon shows on tray.

Sorry bigpup I run it all the time on/off in 511 and can't replicate the problem.

tasmod,
Firewall Status Tray Icon now comes in Luci-234 running at initial start.
There are several posts about on/off not working.

Are we talking about the same thing???
I am talking about the Firewall Status Tray icon, not the right click menu item to turn the firewall off or on.
The Lucid Puppy 5.2 thread has problems posted about the right click menu item turn firewall off or on not working.

just wondering if you have the sources? I would like to remove Psync from the rt click menu because 2.14Xdoesn't come with Psync

luci 235 still have same problem. It does not switch off, or mouse over tool tip informs so. When you right click and choose off, it does not change the message, it keeps on firewall on.

Regards.....

OK, guys, slight confusion over what was reported as not working.

The firewall ON/Off is not working. I appear to have 'lost' a file somewhere along the line that runs the routine.

I'll check it out and get back on this.


ttuuxxx,
I'll make a version for 214 as well.

UPDATE

Version 1.6 full - not really a software update but I missed a folder from the 1.5 pet

Posted source code for firewallstate-1.6-full

Well I must say this is the first time in almost 2 years that 2.14X has been recognized as a valid release and a package outside its thread and some software has been made for it !!!!
Thank You very much for the support!!!!

Version 1.7 full.

Silly errors of mine.

Two spelling mistakes and an additional firewallstate bin file in root.

tasmod,
Using version 1.7 full
Everything is working no problems. Thanks for a program I always wanted to have. Now I know for sure if the firewall is on or off.

@Tasmod:

I was just wondering if your package has developed to a level that allows the adding of swapping levels of security.

As an example, I find that I often need to rerun the firewall program to allow ftp so that I can upload files to my website and then reimpose the default, but really the only change needed is ftp to be on or off.

Maybe then next step for your package....

What a SUPER program this is.

Just installed it within Boxpup-431, and it seems to be working just fine.

I've been wanting something like this ever since I first began using Puppy Linux.

Sorry guys missed the responses as I've only just checked back.

Thanks Sylvander, glad you like it. It's really a response to requests after my first simple version, that it has developed so far.

Scsijon,

Interesting idea. I'll look into the possibility of further control of the firewall program, although no promises.

It only be my setup, but the firewall settings are not remembered after reboot.. I'm using LupQ 511 and firewallstate-1.7-full..

Anyone experience this?

Here in Boxpup-431, every time I boot, the firewall icon down at bottom right in the system tray, is showing the firewall is OFF.
So I switch it on every time I get to the desktop, which then shows it is ON.

Hi all,
I made a mention in the luci thread.

I loaded the latest luci and this happened for me also on reboot.

I suspect a minor change in the startup routine or network message is causing firewallstate to report incorrectly. I suspect that the firewall is actually 'on'

Check /etc/rc.d/rc.local in geany and the last bit of text should end in 'start'. If it does then the firewall is probably running and firewallstate is reporting incorrectly. I can see it is doing that on my system.

Not much time available but I will look into it.

I just updated the post to version 1.8. there is no need to download if you are using Lucid 5.2 as it is the same.

I've also uploaded the 1.8 C source code
