Duc Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 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.#################Starting "Shorewall firewall": done.* Stopping Failsafe Boot Delay[122G[ OK ]* Stopping System V initialisation compatibility[122G[ OK ]* Starting System V runlevel compatibility[122G[ OK ]* Stopping automatic crash report generation[122G[[31mfail[39;49m]* Starting save kernel messages[122G[ OK ]* Starting CPU interrupts balancing daemon[122G[ OK ]* Autostarting VPN 'server' [128G * Starting regular background program processing daemon[122G[ OK ]* Starting deferred execution scheduler[122G[ OK ]* Starting configure network device security[122G[ OK ]* Starting configure network device[122G[ OK ]* Starting virtual private network daemon(s)...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi, haven't seen you around here for a while; everything ok? Sorry, I don't know the answer to your problem; hopefully someone else (more far away) can help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duc Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
