Are you using an official Debian package? This gets complicated. On Gentoo we faced the same problem (google for "SUBSYSLOCK AND shorewall", you will see that multiple distributions have failed on that), that's why I added the following lines to the installer: > # Adjust SUBSYSLOCK path (see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459316) > perl -p -w -i -e "s|^SUBSYSLOCK=.*|SUBSYSLOCK=/run/lock/$PRODUCT|;" > ${DESTDIR}${CONFDIR}/$PRODUCT/$PRODUCT.conf See http://sourceforge.net/p/shorewall/code/ci/45242811630cac816dff70a65e79116cd4b28b37/ @ Tom: Shorewall's documentation says the package maintainer has to adjust the SUBSYSLOCK value (so this is a Debian bug for me, like it was a Ubuntu, ArchLinux and Gentoo bug: If they don't change the value, they have to make sure it is valid), but Shorewall should provide reasonable default values: Therefor Shorewall should follow latest FHS standards and migrate from /var/run to /run. See also: - https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=718 - https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/RunDirectory (and I never understood why it uses a subfolder called "subsys", too) BUT: Because Shorewall supports a "dynamic" SUBSYSLOCK value (can be changed by user in shorewall.conf) I think that Shorewall should be able to handle that, which - as shown by Matt - Shorewall doesn't do at the moment. So finally I would agree, that Shorewall should be able (or at least should try) to create that folder (or check for it, show an error and tell the user to do). -Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
