[Shorewall-users] why suddenly shorewall.log not being updated?
Hi, I''m trying to debug some issues with shorewall, but all of a sudden it has stopped updating shorewall.log. I tried deleting it, I stop and restart shorewall, but nothing. I rebooted the firewall, but still, shorewall won''t update the log file, so I can''t get any status out of it. I''m running 1.4.2 shorewall.conf has this: LOGFILE=/var/log/shorewall.log I''m not having any disk space problems, either. /var/log/messages shows: Aug 26 02:53:05 firewall root: Shorewall Restarted Aug 26 02:55:10 firewall root: Shorewall Restarted Aug 26 03:01:12 firewall root: Shorewall Restarted Thanks Ricardo
