Hi Victor, Based on a quick look at /etc/init.d/shorewall I reckon that the "restart" block might be broken - seems that it does "start" without "stop".
Most people use the "shorewall" command directly to do a restart. In other words just: shorewall restart not: svi shorewall restart (There are other options too - e.g. perhaps: shorewall reload will do what you need) As regards logging, the shorewall log messages actually come from Netfilter. They are directed to /var/log/shorewall.log via the syslog-ng configuration (as per Shorewall FAQ 16b). Reviewing the contents of /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf might give you a hint about what is going wrong. File /etc/lrp.conf controls log file rotation. davidMbrooke On 9 Oct 2013, at 21:09, Victor McAllister wrote: > I manage two remote WRAP 486 firewalls running Bering 5.0.1. > > If I log in with putty, change shorewall rules - do svi shorewall > restart - it says shorewall already running. > > I have to save configuration and a reboot to implement shorewall changes. > > When it restarts - I get a shorewall-init.log but no shorewall.log.
