Product: initscripts
Component: initscripts
Summary: network script and shorewall issue using 2 ethernet
cards
Version: 7.04-1mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2

I'm using the following shorewall package versions: shorewall-1.3.13-1mdk
and initscripts package initscripts-7.04-1mdk.
My linux box is a firewall/NAT that interfaces internet via ADSL (ppp0
interface) and has 2 ethernet cards (eth0 and eth1).
eth0 is connected to my private safe user net to a switch.
eth1 is connected directly to another machine in dmz zone.
Using the latest version of the initscripts package, the network script
makes failing to startup the firewall script (shorewall) if the machine
connected to eth1 is down.
The shorewall script complains saying that the eth1 is down and exits
setting to close the linux box and exiting.
The only way to work around to this is to be sure that the machine connected
to eth1 is up, then start the linux box and then shutdown the machine connected
to eth1. Which is annoying.
Moreover is a long time (and I think already reported) that using linuxconf the
network script misses the probe entry in tyhe switch case.
Everytime the linuxconf complains about this.
