Hi,
I am trying to get shorewall running and whilst it installs from apt-get fine,
i am having issues with the Read only file system. Shorewall seems to write the
compiled scripts into /var/lib/shorewall. When i run remountrw there is no
problem, however with remountro hitting 'shorewall start' in the shell gives a
whole raft of errors:
Compiling...
/usr/share/shorewall/functions: line 1704: /var/lib/shorewall/.modulesdir:
Read-only file systemcp: cannot remove `/var/lib/shorewall/.modules': Read-only
file system

/etc/shorewall/started ...cp: cannot remove `/var/lib/shorewall/.restore':
Read-only file systemdone.
Is there any way that this /var/lib/shorewall/ directory can be made rw? Or
perhaps even plain old ramdisk is ok, but consist of a default set of files
upon boot? Would appreciate insights if the two options above are possible.
The other option is for me to change the init.d/shorewall scripts to remountrw
and remountro around the start and stop parts, but i would prefer the solution
above and it would also help me learn about voyage linux which rocks :)
Many thanks in advance,
Chris
