Guarddog
Hi All,
Finally decided to install a firewall....not even sure why but I did. My question, I set it up using sudo guarddog, but now I'm curious..is there anything I need to do to run it at boot? It's hard to tell if it is or not, when I run top I don't see anything under guarddog, I see watchdog...not sure if they are related. Thanks allBodhi 1.3 & Bodhi 1.4 using E17

Mostly not. Coz, I have not installed any firewall, certainly not 'guarddog' and I have 'watchdog' in the 'top' list.
