Binary package hint: firehol

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10"

PACKAGE=firehol1.231-7ubuntu0.7.10


The options below are supported by firehol, but only a few of them are used in the current rc.S.d script.
I would like to see all relevant options go into the script.


 //----------------------------snip--------------------------------------------- 

start           to activate the firewall configuration.

                        The configuration is expected to be found in
                        /etc/firehol/firehol.conf

        try             to activate the firewall, but wait until
                        the user types the word "commit". If this word
                        is not typed within 30 seconds, the previous
                        firewall is restored.

        stop            to stop a running iptables firewall.
                        This will allow all traffic to pass unchecked.

        restart         this is an alias for start and is given for
                        compatibility with /etc/init.d/iptables.

        condrestart     will start the firewall only if it is not
                        already active. It does not detect a modified
                        configuration file.

        status          will show the running firewall, as in:
                        /sbin/iptables -nxvL | /usr/bin/less

        panic           will block all IP communication.

        save            to start the firewall and then save it to the
                        place where /etc/init.d/iptables looks for it.

                        Note that not all firewalls will work if
                        restored with:
                        /etc/init.d/iptables start

        debug           to parse the configuration file but instead of
                        activating it, to show the generated iptables
                        statements.

        explain         to enter interactive mode and accept configuration
                        directives. It also gives the iptables commands
                        for each directive together with reasoning.

        helpme  or      to enter a wizard mode where FireHOL will try
        wizard          to figure out the configuration you need.
                        You can redirect the standard output of FireHOL to
                        a file to get the config to this file.

        <a filename>    a different configuration file.
                        If not other argument is given, the configuration
                        will be "tried" (default = try).
                        Otherwise the argument next to the filename can
                        be one of 'start', 'debug' and 'try'.
