Shorewall users - Nov 2012 - Windows share mountable from Ubuntu if Shorewall is cleared but no diagnostics to work with

Hello, please find attached the shorewall_dump.tx.gz.

Seemingly there are no connection or network problems to the machines 
associated with a Windows share I am trying to mount locally at /mnt/data.

Nonetheless, I cannot see any shares or machines on our LAN unless I 
clear the Shorewall instance before executing: sudo mount -a with a 
suitable fstab.

The shorewall.conf files clearly display the LOG file as: /var/log/messages.

I see no error condition messages in /var/log/message, /var/log/syslog 
or from the execution of: dmesg.

Typically, I can create a Shorewall Firewall Rule from the information 
gathered in messages or syslog.

However, I have no complaints from Shorewall to work with for a solution.

I''m not sure going for more verbosity will impart any more info.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards, David.

This might not explain the shorewall issues but have you tried putting 
the option _netdev in your fstab for the mount entry?  This should halt 
the mount process for that entry until all the networking scripts have 
finished.

Use the SMBBI(ACCEPT) macro fw->loc (or loc->FW).

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to
skydive twice.

Which means that /var/log/messages exists -- nothing more. The LOGFILE
option tells /sbin/shorewall where to *look for* the log; it has nothing
to do with where Netfilter messages are logged.

Hi Tom, this worked! I need to look into the macros more. Thanks, David.
