This has bugged me on and off most of this year since for some reason that I can't find, the shorewall/shorewall6 startup scripts have a pause of about a minute before the system start/shutdown can continue. Right now this affects both my desktop and laptop running Sid.
My desktop's network connection is a wired Ethernet that is managed by the ifup/ifdown scripts. My laptop's wireless and wired interfaces are managed by WiCD. Right now in /etc/default/shorewall|shorewall6 is the variable 'wait_interface' that is undefined. A bit of testing shows the delay in the scripts is not related to this variable. After this I am stumped as the delay is deeper in Shorewall itself. This has gotten annoying enough that I'm seriously considering a firewall alternative. I like Shorewall as it is relatively easy to configure for new servers and such. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
