Hi,

A few firewall problems, that could be related.

First, i got this email alert:

asl-firewall: Setting ASL firewall policy to ACCEPT: [FAILED]
pubco asl-firewall: Error occurred at line: 14

Then wanted to remove an IP from the whitelist:

sudo asl --remove-whitelist xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

2 48 ASLRBC Reverting all changes
3 3 c_asl::whitelist_remove An error occurred attempting to write to file /var/asl/tmp/20PI51EP

I can add an IP to the whitelist:

sudo asl -wl yyy.yyy.yyy.yy

Let's try to remove that last one:

sudo asl --remove-whitelist yyy.yyy.yyy.yy

2 48 ASLRBC Reverting all changes
3 3 c_asl::whitelist_remove An error occurred attempting to write to file /var/asl/tmp/39En54LL

Now I can remove the next to last on the list:

sudo asl --remove-whitelist xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

It is not on the whitelist anymore, but i get this error message:

Errors were encountered:

L CODE SOURCE MESSAGE
- ---- ----------------------------- ------------------------------------------
2 6 ASLCommon::close_lock File not found /var/asl/tmp/asl.lock


I'm wondering in what state the firewall is at the moment, and why a new temp file is created in /var/asl/tmp each time I try but fail to remove the very last IP from the whitelist.

Thanks for your help.

We'll need information on the IP address, can you contact support about this?
