I faced the same problem on my Ubuntu Edgy.
It has been a very serious issue for me, because I thought I was protected by
Firestarter. After installing Network Manager, it appears I wasn't at all.
I have several services (samba shares, ssh, vnc etc) that are supposed to be
accessible only by my local network. Those services have been accessible by
anyone for almost one month, until I found the problem.
I had to slightly modify the solution in the link above. The command-
line "source" doesn't exist on my computer (seems like that depends on
which shell is used), so I replaced it with the ". " command.
So I created a file 50firestarter with the following content, and gave
it the execution rights (sudo chmod +x 50firestarter)
#!/bin/sh
. /etc/firestarter/configuration 2>&1
# Check to see if the interface that changed is the one currently
# protected by firestarter. If not, quit.
[ "$1" != "$IF" ] && exit
# Check the current status of Firestarter
[ -e /var/lock/subsys/firestarter -o -e /var/lock/firestarter ]
fs_status=$?
case "$2" in
up)
[ "$fs_status" -gt 0 ] && /etc/init.d/firestarter start
;;
down)
## Uncomment the following line to allow this script to
## turn off the firewall when the interface goes down.
#[ "$fs_status" -eq 0 ] && /etc/init.d/firestarter stop
;;
esac
