# firehol-wizard(8)

Generating configuration files for FireHOL

## NAME

firehol-wizard - Generating configuration files for FireHOL

## SYNOPSIS

**firehol-wizard**

## DESCRIPTION

Tries to guess the **firehol** configuration needed for the current machine. **firehol-wizard** will not stop or alter the running firewall. The configuration file is given in the standard output of  **firehol-wizard**, thus

```
 /usr/sbin/firehol-wizard >/tmp/firehol.conf
```

will produce the output in */tmp/firehol.conf*.

The generated **firehol** configuration should and must be edited before used on your systems. You are required to take many decisions and the comments of the generated file will instruct you for many of them.
