Hi All,

Maybe I did not use the correct keywords, but I am unable to find a solution for this problem with google , or via the archives.

   * I've been given a fc14 virtual machine.
   * Upon reboot, shorewall is not running.
   * If I do the following, shorewall starts OK.
         o   log in via the vmware console
         o su root
         o /sbin/shorewall start
   * even though /etc/rc.local is out of favour I tried running
     "/sbin/shorewall start" in /etc/rc.local, but shorewall is still
     not starting on reboot.

/var/log/messages reports:

I don't see why shorewall fails to start from /etc/rc.local, but starts OK from the command line. [ whoami from /etc/rc.local reports root. When starting from the command line whoami reports root. ]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Don
