ipkungfu - services /etc/rc.local

[flebber]

Hi on my gutsy ubuntu installation (kubuntu) I have used ipkungfu as my firewall script. I added ipkungfu to /etc/rc.local so that it starts on boot. However, I just want to double check it to know its okay after reboot.

If I bring up running services CTRL+Esc+F1 I cannot see ipkungfu or an iptables entry. I go to shields up and get the all clear to check.

How can I check that I have my firewall working well ? And how do you rate IPKungfu ? It passed Shields up well but is it any good.

I have never used IPKungfu.. iptables is fine in my eyes ^^
Anyhow, to answer your Question: console -> lsof

and of nmap

As root

iptables -L

when i did iptables -L I got iptables rules so it appears that it is working fine.

Yeah I may sit down and learn iptables better to do the configuration myself. I at this moment just didn't have the time to find a good tutorial and sit down and set it up. I was hoping by editing a few quick files in ipkungfu I could get a good iptables firewall up quickly.
