Guarddog edits the file /etc/rc.firewall.  It does not run all the time.  
Guarddog uses its own syntax within the rc.firewall file so if you stay 
within that syntax you will be fine.

You can do things like start guarddog, create a firewall, save it and close 
guarddog.  cp it to a different file name.  Then open guarddog and modify the 
firewall rule as you wish.  Save the new rule.  Now you can use cron scripts 
to switch between these two rules just by renaming the rules and then 
running /etc/rc.firewall (just be sure of permissions and ownership)
