Hi,

I do not have /proc/sys/net/ipv4/<interface>/log_martians when running
kernel, 2.6.36.4 or 3.0.0 and if I restart Shorewall from the cmd line
in a terminal as;

/etc/rc.d/rc.shorewall restart

When running the 3.0.0 kernel, I see at the terminal it saying;

Cannot set Martian logging on wlan0

But if I run the kernel 2.6.36.4 I do not get this message when
restarting Shorewall in the terminal, so then how is that possible?

Here's the output when restarting running 2.6.36.4;

Here's the output when restarting running 3.0.0; (Line 40)

Thanks....
