There isn't a line with STARTUP in my /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf (as installed by yum). However, shorewall appears to start up without any errors; but I cannot access the internet from other machines on my LAN. I have to run "sudo service shorewall restart" after logging in, and then all is well. As I said, it is as though something run after /etc/rc.d/rc.local turns shorewall off. Actually, it is no burden to restart shorewall, as I normally only re-boot this machine when installing a new version of Fedora. But I am interested to know why this occurs. [I guess the shorewall mailing list is a better place to ask.] Incidentally, when shorewall is left in its original position in /etc/rc.d/rc.init it does not start up properly; it has to wait for my wireless LAN to start up. In this case I get a clear error message from shorewall. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
