Title: Firewall appears to fail on boot
Post by: abluesongbird on May 15, 2010, 03:29:41 am

During its boot sequence my eBox (1.4 on Ubuntu LTS 8.04.4) machine reports

Code: [Select]

Starting eBox module: firewall                     [fail]
but afterward a call to

Code: [Select]

sudo iptables -L
reveals that the rules were loaded properly during boot.  There is nothing in the eBox logs reporting the failure and restarting the firewall with

Code: [Select]

sudo /etc/init.d/ebox firewall restart
reports success.

Any ideas?

Could you give us the exact version of your firewall module? (apt-cache policy ebox-firewall)

Sure, the output of the apt-get call is

Code: [Select]

ebox-firewall:

Look at the /var/log/ebox/ebox.log file while you execute "/etc/init.d/ebox firewall restart" to see if any error appears there.
