This needs shorewall and iptables to work proprely. If one doesn't want to configure a firewall ... why install these packages then ? -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/

Since tinyfirewall is in drakxtools-newt, it will not depend on shorewall, but ask for installing them instead.
[Cooker] tinyfirewall missing dependencies
If you set up a non-server workstation (nothing selected, apart from a window manager or managers, in the right-hand column of the top-level package list) running tinyfirewall asks for shorewall and iptables to be installed. Given that tinyfirewall is always installed as part of the Mandrake Control Centre, should these packages not be installed by default? Alastair
