Firestarter fails at networking restart

[Alejandro Bokser]

Hi:

I've installed Kubuntu 8.04

Please look at this:

~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Firestarter created one entry in if-up.d and other in if-down.d both nemed 50firestarter, you can see them following:

~$ cat /etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter
#! /bin/sh

/etc/init.d/firestarter restart

~$ cat /etc/network/if-down.d/50firestarter
#! /bin/sh

/etc/init.d/firestarter restart

I think in the case of if-down.d /etc/init.d/firestarter stop would suffice being the nework stopped.

In the case of if-up.d it's OK, but I don know why it fails, because when I restart Firestarter manually or by means of GUI it works OK.

That's the proof:

 ~$ sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter restart
* Stopping the Firestarter firewall... [ OK ]
 * Starting the Firestarter firewall... [ OK ]

Thanks
