I take it you are pretty much of the same mind about the

    local lockf=/var/lock/shorewall

using /var/lock for all lite boxes rather than a per-lite configuration?
That one is hard-coded in /usr/share/shorewall/functions on the
administrative machine unfortunately so there is not much the OpenWRT
packaging can do to fix this, if I'm reading the debug output and source
code correctly.

I suppose another similar shorewall-lite hack to create /var/lock if it
doesn't exist could work too.  It really shouldn't be on the CF anyway.
If it were per-lite configurable I was just going to drop it in /tmp,
which is where /var/lock would wind up being if created by
shorewall-lite so maybe that's what I'll just do unless there is
something I am not quite seeing.
