I'm not the original poster, but personally, I like the GUI running so
that I can see if it's blocking something I hadn't previously planned
for. Also, even though I've allowed all smb and cups ports as described
in various tutorials and documentation, firestarter *still* blocks
access to smb printers. I have to disable it in order to print - and
doing so w/ the GUI is quick and simple.
