kmyfirewall not working - trying to set up iptables

[flebber]

Have been trying to set up iptables on my kubuntu 7.10 box . I want to do a basic workstation set up that will allow web and mail access along with printer(usb) access and torrent.

I have tried a few iptables guides now with no success, so thought I would try kmyfirewall. However there appears to be a few problems .

1. I cannot define a torrent rule or rule for my printer in the gui.
2. Unable to Install firewall I receive this error

Error: kdesu: Unknown option '-t'.
Error: kdesu: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.

Execution failed
Exit(Code): 254

I have tried starting kmyfirewall with sudo sudo -i kdesu but nothing seems to let it install .

This is what I have been using to try and get a firewall up

If you can help with kmyfirewall or have some good links for setting up iptables I would appreciate it. I just can't seem to get a reliable firewall up and configured properly.

Have you installed kmyfirewall via Adept Manger or from the CLI with sudo apt-get kmyfirewall
