Shorewall users - Jul 2003 - New Shorewall user trying to get ulogd setup

quick background:
RH9 (2.4.20-19.9)
Shorewall 1.4.6a-1
ulogd 1.00

Shorewall is working properly.

I''ve followed the FAQ instructions and everything appears to be setup
correctly. The problem is that I''m trying to get ulog going...but
I''m
getting:

# service ulogd status
ulogd dead but subsys locked

I''m not sure if I was suppose to, but I also manually created the 
ulogd.syslogemu file in /var/log because when I tried to shutdown
shorewall (in WebMin) it complained that the file didn''t exist.

Anyway...it appears that I can''t start the ulogd daemon.
I''m pretty rusty on the linux box so be gentle :)

Welte, the current maintainer of NetFilter, is the author of ulogd and
there is a vigorous netfilter help list at netfilter@lists.netfilter.org.

That having been said, you might try creating the file that you want to log 
to (the one named in the sysfilelog specification in 
/usr/local/etc/ulogd.conf) and see if that helps.

Also, as I announced just yesterday I have placed a copy of my working 
ulogd environment at http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/ulogd. There''s
a
tarball of all of the files plus the file tree.

For those who grabbed this environment before now, I regret that the 
ulogd.conf file was missing. That problem has been corrected.
