Is Guarddog incompatible with Kernel v3.2.0?

Hello.

I think my Guarddog program is not running/working anymore (e.g., no
blockages shown in dmesg logs) after upgrading Kernel v2.6.32 to v3.2.0)
recently. I tried to check its frontend GUI software as root/sudo, but
it failed:

$ guarddog -v
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.10
Guarddog: 2.6.0

# guarddog
No protocol specified
guarddog: cannot connect to X server :0.0
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 31229, errno = 11

It works with regular user, but I don't see my custom settings and
change anything. Is it incompatible with the latest Kernel version? If
so, then is there a replacement for it?

Thank you in advance.

NB: According to its web site, Guarddog was last updated in
March 2007. Not sure how much support you can expect.

["Followup-To:" header set to comp.os.linux.setup.]

You need to patch two files in src
and recompile guarddog to use it with that kernel.
The guarddog.cpp and guarddogdoc.cpp files must be edited/patched.

Look for the sections in both files that look like below:
(about line 2910 in guarddog.cpp and about line 603 in guarddogdoc.cpp)

# Check for iptables support.
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION=`sed "s/^\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\).*\$/\1/" < /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease`
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.6" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.5" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.4" ]; then
if [ -e /sbin/iptables ]; then
FILTERSYS=2
fi;
if [ -e /usr/sbin/iptables ]; then
FILTERSYS=2
fi;
if [ -e /usr/local/sbin/iptables ]; then
FILTERSYS=2
fi;
fi;
fi;

Download source if you have to.
Edit both files to look like below:
(save changes)
Then recompile guarddog.
And install.

Take a look at VuurMuur and Arno's firewall,
because Guarddog is not being maintained.
This hack will keep you going for a bit till
you can familarize yourself with a different option.

# Check for iptables support.
if [ -e /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION=`sed "s/^\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9][0-9]*\).*\$/\1/" < /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease`
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.4" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.3" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.2" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.1" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "3.0" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.6" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.5" ]; then
KERNEL_VERSION="2.4"
fi;
if [ $KERNEL_VERSION == "2.4" ]; then
if [ -e /sbin/iptables ]; then
FILTERSYS=2
fi;
if [ -e /usr/sbin/iptables ]; then
FILTERSYS=2
fi;
if [ -e /usr/local/sbin/iptables ]; then
FILTERSYS=2
fi;
fi;
fi;

Because it was working fine with Kernel v2.6.32.
