Had an oddball yesterday, when the office lost internet connectivity. In the logs I found
May 4 12:44:12 *** logger: ERROR:Shorewall 'enable ***' failed May 4 12:44:13 *** logger: Shorewall Stopped One of the configured FTTC (VDSL2) providers had gone down and come back up, and I have a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d that calls "shorewall enable ***" after the PPP connection is up - but for some reason it failed this once. It's been working fine for some time with one provider, I've recently added this one by simply cloning all the config entries from the existing one. If I manually drop the PPP connection then everything works fine, and there have been a couple more line drops since where it's worked fine. So clearly a transient error, but any ideas what could have caused it ? I know manglement will be asking for more than "sh*t happens" ! Also, what does "shorewall enable ..." do ? I assume it's running a subset of "shorewall [re]start" to build the routing tables - is it normal for a failure like this to result in a stopped state ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
