Not sure what caused it but it was a combination of (custom compiled 2.6.12.6 kernel, vmware 5.0 networking, and /sbin/ifconfig). Basically I'd start vmware (/etc/init.d/vmware start), that would load the vmnet module. After that everything seemed messed up so I tried to restart my workstation. Without fail the restart would hang trying to stop shorewall. Also /sbin/ifconfig would hang if vmnet module was loaded. So I'm guessing the problem wasn't shorewalls but instead shorewall was calling a busted /sbin/ifdown or something like that. I needed a workstation in the morning so I just installed a stock debian kernel and vmware 5.5 beta. That fixed everything. Not sure if the kernel or vmware was the culprit. Anyhow I've had shorewall problems recently :). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
