shorewall start with modules disabled issues a warning
the perl code in Config.pm does not handle the case where the kernel does not support modules. so when starting up shorewall, `lsmod` is executed unconditionally which results in a warning: Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory the shell code in lib.common however does handle this by making sure at least one module dir exists first. the perl code seems to lack this simple check. using shorewall-4.4.15.1, but current git tree seems to be unchanged. -mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
