Package: guarddog
Version: 2.3.0-1
Severity: normal

Guarddog's scripts contain these lines:

    # Load any special kernel modules.
    [ $GUARDDOG_VERBOSE -eq 1 ] && echo "Loading kernel modules."
    modprobe ip_conntrack_irc
    modprobe ip_conntrack_ftp

I have these features built-in to me kernel, so modprobe fails and
prints a warning message:

    modprobe: Can't locate module ip_conntrack_ftp

While true, this is misleading, since there is not expected to be such
a module.  A user may wonder whether the firewall has been properly
established.

One quick way to fix this is to use modprobe --quiet, but this may
suppress helpful warnings in some situations, so a better solution
would be not to call modprobe at all when there is no reason to call
it.  But I do not know how to check whether these features are built
into the running kernel.

Version: 2.6.0-3+rm

guarddog was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze) in
February 2011 and removed from Debian sid/unstable later in 2011 (see
http://bugs.debian.org/619736 for details on the removal). Since
support for squeeze and squeeze-LTS has now ended, I'm closing all the
remaining bugs reported against this package.
