This warning is issued when 'log_martians' is specified on an interface but the pseudo file /proc/sys/net/ipv4/<interface>/log_martians does not exist when the firewall is started. That has nothing to do with kernel version but may be affected by when in the startup sequence Shorewall is started. -Tom Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
