Hello I am new to this group and fairly new to Linux in general. I have been playing around with Mandrake Multi Network Firewall, and I have had some success with it. That being said I have a question concerning the GUI. I could not configure MNF properly using the GUI, so I used VI to edit the various rules and filter files manually. This is fine, but the strange thing is, after I have edited the files, when I log on through the GUI all of the settings I just changed manually are unchanged when viewed through the GUI. What I can't figure out is where these setting are coming from, because if I check the files again in VI I can confirm that they are actually changed. I would like to be able to change the settings and have them reflected in the GUI if possible. Any ideas?
