    I'm using Fedora Core 1 command prompt and at wits end trying to edit
    scripts containing iptables commands. To ease the firewall
    configuration I downloaded Jay's Firewall and installed the rpm.
    Jay's Firewall installed and loaded the appropriate files and
    directories. Because I have no dialog, the Jay's Firewall says to use
    the generate parameter and manually edit the generated script. When I
    do, I get a "no dialog" error. 'firewall-conf.pl' does not exist.
    I've looked into installing dialog, but as a newbie that's out of my
    skill range. Now I'm stuck (again) ...

    [root@Blue root]# /usr/sbin/firewall-config.pl --generate
    which: no dialog in
    (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin)

    Error: firewall-conf.pl: 'dialog' not found at ''
           please edit '/usr/sbin/firewall-conf.pl'

    [root@Blue root]# find / -name firewall-conf.pl -print
    [root@Blue root]#

    Jay's FAQ says to use the --generate option if you don't have dialog,
    but as shown above, I get a 'dialog' error. Can anyone tell me the
    proper command switch(es) to generate a working script I can edit?
