 * After activating the plugin in the overview page it is showing warning about .
   htaccess read only
 * So for firewall to work do I will have to make the .htaccess writeable ?

 * You can leave it read only, it is not a problem.
    The warning is there just to
   remind you that if one day you wanted to uninstall NinjaFirewall, you would need
   to manually remove the instructions from the .htaccess **before** uninstalling
   it, as [described here](http://ninjafirewall.com/wordpress/help.php#ro_sysfile).
