SuSe 9.1 startup issue

Tom,

	I am NOT subscribed (yet). I dropped SuSeFirewall2 in favor of
shorewall to get past the configuration hurdles I as experiencing.

At the moment, when my SuSe 9.1 starts up, I can see shorewall processing
the rules, policies, etc. and I see no errors and then moves on with the
rest of the SuSe boot process .

However, no traffic passes through using the rules.

I run an iptables -L and I can see that the rules and policies are not in
place as if it didn''t run the rules I have, but some other rules.

Yet, I saw the rules running during the boot process.

I have to manually execute shorewall a second time from the shell in order
for the rules/policies to take effect.

Rerunning iptables after excuting shorewall again reveals the proper
iptables results and my rules/policies have taken effect.

What am I overlooking?

Nice product BTW. You spent a lot of time on it.

Thanks,

Greg
