[hblug] Ubuntu 7.04 Firewall Logs

[Michael Adams]

Yeah, he is complaining of not getting any hits at all. It aint blocking
anything like his browser or anything and it says it is working fine.

Problem is he is asking all these questions on the OpenOffice.org user
list instead of an Ubuntu list. At this stage i haven't replied. It
would probably be easiest to point him at a more appropriate list.

Hmm, i just switched [ctrl] [alt] [f12] and syslog on this old box shows
the last 50+ logentries are from Shorewall which runs on IPTables as it
blocks random hits.
