10.3: Resolve issues with 'other firewall software'
I've seen this before, too, with Jaguar. When ever I use the CLI ipfw to change any firewall settings, the Sharing preference pane thinks some other firewall software is running. I first noticed it when experimenting with BrickHouse. I never looked at the com.apple.... file before. Could it be that the pref-pane compares it's settings from the com.apple.... file to what ipfw reports is active, then assumes any differences were done using some other software?
10.3: Resolve issues with 'other firewall software'
I think basically the PrefPane looks at the current IPFW list of rules and if it sees anything other than the standard default rule - then it assumes you are using another firewall.
Firewall pref pane is just a user interface
Just to clarify - the Firewall preference pane is just a user interface for configuring the ipfw firewall. That interface is not terribly sophisticated and so gets confused if you have used some other means of configuring the ipfw firewall. |
