Starting Shorewall using systemctl fails with the error message as
below. Starting from command line succeeds. I've tried changing the
permissions on the /var/lib/shorewall folder to 777 but no change. The
temp file isn't present after the error so I don't know if the
permission issue is related to that. Selinux is disabled.
I'm new to FC18 and systemctl so apologies if this is not a Shorewall
issue as such, but I can't see where to go next.
Thanks,
