I had shorewall problems last night. Not sure what caused it but it
was a combination of (custom compiled 2.6.12.6 kernel, vmware 5.0
networking, and /sbin/ifconfig).
Basically I'd start vmware (/etc/init.d/vmware start), that would load
the vmnet module. After that everything seemed messed up so I
tried to restart my workstation. Without fail the restart would hang
trying to stop shorewall.
Also /sbin/ifconfig would hang if vmnet module was loaded. So I'm
guessing the problem wasn't shorewalls but instead shorewall was
calling a busted /sbin/ifdown or something like that.
I needed a workstation in the morning so I just installed a
stock debian kernel and vmware 5.5 beta. That fixed everything. Not
sure if the kernel or vmware was the culprit.
Anyhow I've had shorewall problems recently :).
