Hi Ljubomir,

Thanks for showing me the way :)
I''ve found that my ip-up.local file was not executable.
I''ve changed it to executable and tested as you suggested. Now it runs
"shorewall restart"
The problem seems to be fixed.

But then, why it did not happen with my old kernel. That''s weird.
Maybe the ppp was not going down so often with previous kernel. (?)

Btw, the reason why I am using this kernel is that it has been
suggested from netfilter mailing list to solve my conntrack problem.

Thanks.
