Description Meg Skywalker 2015-09-03 15:54:58 CEST

Description of problem:
Using the administration tool for shorewall seems not working proper on a systemd system.
It tried to read /var/log/messages, which isn't existing/used anymore.
So every (tested) command only produce the following output:
   ERROR: LOGFILE (/var/log/messages) does not exist!



Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

You need to install rsyslog to have a /var/log/messages file, it's not installed by default anymore.  It would be nice if shorewall could read the systemd journal instead.  Maybe support for this has been added in a newer version, or is available but we haven't enabled it?  It'd be nice if someone could look into that.

Assigning to all packagers collectively, since shorewall has no registered maintainer.
