I did not want to change Tom's original package (that is why I did not add an shorwall.exclude.list) and there was indeed no reason to backup the file in /var/lib/shorewall

So here is the "clean" solution which should solve everything: 1/ remove the var/lib/shorewall line in /var/lib/lrpkg/root.exclude.list 2/ restore var/lib/shorewall (now the ending / is no more necessary) in /var/lib/lrpkg/shorwall.list 3/ modify shorewall.conf through entry 12 of the shorwall package configuration menu and replace STATEDIR=/var/lib/shorewall by STATEDIR=/tmp/shorewall Tom: is that OK to change that in your LRP package ? 4/ Backup root and shorwall Jacques > Let me know if you would like me to change the value in my copy of the LRP > as well; I'm already maintaining a separate shorewall.conf just for LRP > anyway. > > -Tom ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
