firewall

[Frederic Schaer]

firewall builder is trying to setup the firewall using *root* account :
it connects via ssh to 127.0.0.1 for you, so you'll probably want to
check that root account has a password (and enter this one when asked),
and that root is allowed to connect via ssh on 127.0.0.1. I don't think
fwbuiled is able to use sudo (and that's a pity) when installing the
firewall, so don't try with your standard user account (I guess this is
the cause of the permission denied error)

Personnally, to secure a bit the ssh thing, I have this line in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config :

PermitRootLogin yes
AllowUsers me root at localhost

Hope that helps...
Cheers
