Package: shorewall
Version: 4.0.6-1
Severity: normal
If you use DISABLE_IPV6=Yes and then change it to DISABLE_IPV6= (or
DISABLE_IPV6=No, I guess) and restart shorewall, the default policy for
ipv6 tables is still drop. IMHO, it should change the policy to accept:
else the user doesn't understand why it doesn't work...

Vincent,
I am closing this bug report as it is not really a bug. This comment
from one of the upstream developers sums it up:
13:22 < weemansdad> el_cubano: For the second one, not-a-bug, that is to
prevent becoming wide open before a ipv6 rule-set is
loaded, which should flush any pre-existing
rules/polices. shorewall clear then a start might
work around the issue I think....
Regards,
-Roberto
