Hi, I have a problem with Shorewall. When I want to start the firewall, I get the error message "ERROR: No hosts on ALOW:info have the maclist option specified". Can anyone give me a hint how to solve the problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Total off the cuff, but it sounds like you''ve set a option in you rules or policy file that refers to a maclist that doesn''t exist in your hosts file. I''m going to guess someone here is about to respond by telling you to report problems in the way specified on the Shorewall site, but that''s my 2 cents with the meagre info you''ve provided.
