Hi,

I am getting multiple reports regarding a shorewall-4.6.4.1 startup error:

>  * Starting shorewall ...
> /var/lib/shorewall/firewall: line 2080: echo: write error: No such file or 
> directory
>    WARNING: Unable to set log backend to ipt_LOG

I see this error also on some of my systems but not all.

Restarting shorewall always works. And the command around line 2080 are
all fine..

If I try to set "net.netfilter.nf_log.2=ipt_LOG" using sysctl on boot I
am getting the same error.

The problem seems to be that the LOG backend module (ipt_LOG in my case)
wasn't loaded yet (proof: If I make sure that ipt_LOG loads early on
boot, everything works).

So it seems like were are missing a modprobe in shorewall before setting
the LOG backend...

If there IS a modprobe call *before* setting nf_log this seems to be a
timing issue (module load not yet finished)...
