6.0-4 beta1 guarddog doesn't start on boot


Posts: 39

I noticed the guarddog firewall doesn't start on boot.

root# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Remove the kill link and add the default start/stop links in.

root# update-rc.d -f guarddog remove
Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/guarddog ...
/etc/rcS.d/K65guarddog

root# update-rc.d guarddog defaults
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/guarddog ...
/etc/rc0.d/K20guarddog -> ../init.d/guarddog
/etc/rc1.d/K20guarddog -> ../init.d/guarddog
/etc/rc6.d/K20guarddog -> ../init.d/guarddog
/etc/rc2.d/S20guarddog -> ../init.d/guarddog
/etc/rc3.d/S20guarddog -> ../init.d/guarddog
/etc/rc4.d/S20guarddog -> ../init.d/guarddog
/etc/rc5.d/S20guarddog -> ../init.d/guarddog

root# /etc/init.d/guarddog start
Setting up guarddog firewall...done.

Thanks

I had the same problem with 6.5. Your post helped me fix it.
