Re: [Shorewall-users] Shorewall not starting

Many thanks Justin - systemctl enable shorewall fixed it. Nice to have such a simple solution! Thanks also Matt. At a glance I might be able to use [1] to get sshd and apache2 to start, but that's for tomorrow. (Yes, should have been /var/log/shorewall-init.log. Nothing added on booting until

[Shorewall-users] Shorewall not starting

Prompted by ending of 32 bit Linux support, I'm reimplementing a firewall I set up in around 2014 to protect a school network from arbitrary root-privilege actions by students on a bunch of Raspberry Pis. As before, this is running under Linux Mint (Ubuntu-based), and this time I installed Sho

[Shorewall-users] Shorewall not starting: Linux Mint 18.2 bug

Sorted, after months of frustration. Installing Shorewall from the repository on Mint 18.2 fails to enable the systemd shorewall service. Fixed by typing: systemctl enable shorewall.service This may also apply to Ubuntu and Debian as Mint uses the Ubuntu repositories. Regards - Philip -

Re: [Shorewall-users] Shorewall not starting

Finally got around to checking this out. systemctl is-enabled reported enabled for shorewall but not for shorewall-init. So I enabled it for shorewall-init, and when it still didn't start on boot I reenabled both, but still with no improvement. There's no sign (that I can see) of it failing on boo

I've just popped in to the school and the systemctl enable shorewall did the trick. Three or four reboots later I thought I'd seen the last of the desktop crash, but then I was sorting out another problem - I have 16 DNAT rules but had only added 8 extra IP addresses to the source NIC. After addin

OK, thanks, so on this near-clone system, systemd is installed and systemctl shows shorewall as disabled. When next I can get to the live system (probably next week) I'll repeat it there, and it sounds like it should then start on boot. But does that explain why the desktop crashed when I enabled

Ah, come to think of it I've got another Linux Mint system down here in a corner which I set up as far as I can tell identically but it doesn't have Shorewall configured or started as I don't have the requisite NICs and only have one network. It reports: Philip-Desktop ~ # apt-cache policy shorewa

We'd been running Shorewall successfully since a couple of years ago on the then current version of Linux Mint. I recently rebuilt the firewall on slightly less ancient hardware and with the latest Linux Mint and Shorewall, and now it doesn't start automatically. After a bit of googling I set star

Thanks Tom - it sounds like adding something like "required,wait=5" would at least be a viable work-around. But reading between the lines, it seems you're saying that I could in all likelihood sidestep the problem completely, just by specifying "optional" instead (I presume "required" is the defau

Re: [Shorewall-users] Shorewall not starting on boot - eth0 not up yet

wait_interface is null. Definitely sounds like worth a try. I've also been looking at IFUPDOWN in /etc/default/shorewall-init. Would you recommend that as well, or instead? Unfortunately I only get access to the firewall once a week, which will be tomorrow, so any other ideas will be very timely.
