Hey folks- I am setting up a shorewall6-only config to firewall my HE tunnel. The system is a CentOS 6.0 VM (running on Hyper-V but that's not the problem here.)
Shorewall6 runs just fine when I "su" and then launch it manually with "shorewall6 start" - no problems, everything behaves exactly as intended, and all the firewall behavior is exactly as I want it to be. So with all that initial config taken care of (much experimentation required) I moved on to trying to get it to start at boot automatically. However, when I try to launch it instead by putting shorewall6 start into /etc/rc.d/rc.local, it fails, and the log only shows me this: [root@ipv6tunl log]# more shorewall6-init.log Jul 30 23:38:10 Processing /etc/shorewall6/params ... Jul 30 23:38:10 ERROR: Processing of /etc/shorewall6/params failed And that's it - nothing else in the log. I tried changing the start line to do tracing to /tmp/trace, but the trace came up empty, so at the moment I am clueless as to why it won't start properly at boot time. FYI, the reason I'm starting it this way rather than by chkconfig is so that I can force a few ip commands to complete first to configure the HE 6in4 tunnel first before starting the firewall that relies on the tunnel being running. Totally open to suggestions, or what more troubleshooting/logging I can provide - NOT a Linux expert, but learning fast.
