Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

I am not able to reproduce this issue in gutsy.

im using gutsy tribe5+updates, this is still the issue,
but guarddog can be started up from KDE,

the first message that comes up says that its ok if rc.firewall is missing because the guarddog hasn't been configured yet,

Same issue in Gutsy. Actually bobrownik is correct, the message indicates a problem that will be solved when guarddog is first invoked. This is mostly a usability issue, IMO.

The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/

Same issue in Jaunty.

Everything is nicely explained after the first run of guarddog,
found in Applications - Internet (KDE 4)
