Running ubuntu server 11.10

Upon checking my boot.log after my pptp wasn't working, I noticed my shorewall is not starting up during boot. I have enable the startup function in the shorewall.conf to 'yes' and also in /etc/default/shorewall to '1'.

This cmd 'sudo shorewall check' yields the shorewall is stopped.

The boot.log shows this error

fsck from util-linux 2.19.1

/dev/sdb1: clean, 104534/15007744 files, 2089061/59999488 blocks (check in 3 mounts)

#### WARNING ####

the firewall won't be initialized unless it is configured

Please read about Debian specific customization in

/usr/share/doc/shorewall-init/README.Debian.gz.

If you noticed it fist says 'firewall won't be initialized...' but after that it says 'starting shorewall...' HOwever, I check and shorewall is not started. What is causing this message?

Hi. Long time. I am still here; never left.

In regards to my post. I seem to got it working by upgrading to the latest verson. 4.2->4.5. I don't know why it didn't work before. However, after the upgrade, I still get the message about 'firewall didn't initialized.....', but shorewall is running.
