mnf stores the rules on its own backend configuration files. On apply/restart/reboot the configuration files will be read and overwrite the shorewall rules file. I think if you notice that the header of the shorewall rule file already warn you about that.

Another rules question.

The web interface is not reading my /etc/shorewall/rules file
correctly.  Even if I make a change in that file, when I go to the rules
section it doesn't display properly.  It shows me what it previously
had, and doesn't show any of the changes.  How can I get it so the
interface shows me the actual rules from the rules file?

Ok I have the box up and running, next question... rules.
When you go to add custom rule, in the client and server there is a
field for "interface,IP or Subnet" .... I'd like to add a rule that
applies to multiple IP addresses in a row i.e. 120.x.x.20 -
120.x.x.25.  What's the syntax for entering that into the box so MNF
will read it and apply the rules correctly?

OK guys MNF Setup questions.  Hopefully someone can help.  I have a
machine w/ 2 nics and the newest MNF beta2 installed on it.  My WAN
interface eth0 is configured at let's say 120.x.x.25 (fake address used
for an example) and my LAN interface eth1 is configured at 130.x.x.1.
This has to be this way due to a "front-porch" setup of our
network.  Now
we have a pretty big network behind the 130.x.x.x network,
everything is
all set, but the 130.x.x.1 has to be the gateway that machines on
the LAN
use. How can I route all traffic from 130.x.x.x (LAN) to 120.x.x.25
(WAN)
and out while keeping the routability of the addresses behind the LAN?
What I mean is we have routable addresses on the LAN, so say I start an
ssh session to a machine out in the world.  I don't want the machine to
see a connection coming from a standard source address, I need it to
see
the actual IP of that machine (we have a network based billing system).
How can I route traffic from eth0 (LAN) to eth1 (WAN) (and vice
versa for
connections coming from the outside world) successfully via MNF?  A
Static
route?  Something different?  A Masqerade rule would be something for
private addresses like 192.168.x.x but I don't think that would keep
the
routability in tact (am I correct on that?).  Once that is done, I
can get
all the rules in place.

Can someone help me make this happen?  Does it have to be hard-coded in
config files?  It's kind of a short time scale as the higher-ups would
like to get this working tomorrow morning, and I'm just not seeing
how to
make it happen. Thanks in advance,

Jason
