Re: Shorewall not starting

Many thanks Justin - systemctl enable shorewall fixed it. Nice to have 
such a simple solution!

Thanks also Matt. At a glance I might be able to use [1] to get sshd and 
apache2 to start, but that's for tomorrow.
(Yes, should have been /var/log/shorewall-init.log. Nothing added on 
booting until shorewall started manually, until which shorewall status 
said stopped.)
