First, 'service' is a distribution-specific program/script that executes another distribution-specific /etc/init.d/shorewall script. So when reporting problems on this list, we specifically ask that you use '/sbin/shorewall start', '/sbin/shorewall stop' etc. and do NOT use those programs that we have no control over. Second, your report doesn't give us anything that could possibly be used to understand the problem. You don't even indicate which version of Shorewall you are running -- If you really believe that all versions of Shorewall do exactly the same thing, I might as well stop developing Shoreawll and retire to Eastern Washington and raise Bees (apologies to Arthur Conan Doyle). Third, given that 'service shorewall start' didn't give you anything useful, you are probably using a distribution that logs all startup messages to a log file; look at that log and see what is happening. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
