Hi Mario,

Thanks for the reply. The command you suggested gives the following 
output so it looks as though an init script exists although I'm not sure 
it's running as the firewall still shows up as stopped.

/etc
/etc/firestarter
/etc/firestarter/non-routables
/etc/init.d
/etc/init.d/firestarter

Where do I go from here?

Cheers,

Graham
