INSTALLING UFW (UNCOMPLICATED FIREWALL) IN DEBIAN

To install UFW in Debian 5.0 (Lenny) there are a couple gotchas that you will hit along the way.

UFW requires Python 2.5 or greater.

UFW requires make

UFW does NOT automatically start at boot even though it says it does.

Here are the commands I ran on a clean install (as root).

Update your package list: aptitude update

Upgrade your distribution: aptitude safe-upgrade

Install Python: aptitude install python

Install build utils: aptitude install build-essential

Move to a temp location: cd /tmp

Get the latest from UFW: wget http://launchpad.net/ufw/0.29/0.29.3/+download/ufw-0.29.3.tar.gz

Extract the source: tar xvf ufw-0.29.3.tar.gz

Go into the source: cd ufw-0.29.3

Install UFW: python setup.py install

Configure UFW to boot with tips from here: ln -fs /lib/ufw/ufw-init /etc/init.d/ufw

Configure rc.defaults: update-rc.d ufw defaults

Enable UFW: ufw enable

NOTE if you do NOT have make installed you will get a “No such file or directory” error. This actually took me a little while (and digging in setup.py) to figure out.
