Hi all...

I think shorewall does something strange on update. I had shorewall installed
on a box, but not active. After an update with urpmi, the updated package
auto activated itself (chkconfig'ed on, so it was started on reboot),
and killed the output interface (eth0). All traffic was dropped. 
And guess what ? It was a remote box ;). So I realized all this at next
morning when I rebooted the box in place and saw shorewall start...
Think of a ton of admins doing a remote update to 9.2.

This happens also with other packages, but that are minor glitches. For
example, nscd gets deactivated from startup scripts every time I upgrade
glibc. But I can live with that.

Is this a bug ?
