So here it is:

IP_FORWARDING=Yes

This, I suppose, implies that something is mocking with that ip_forward bit
after shorewall has run (?). Only other ipfilter related piece of software
I run is fail2ban - which to my knowledge did not change in conjunction
with this recent problematic shorewall update. I will have to investigate
whether that's the troublemaker. Any pointers on how to actually figure out
what's changing the ip_forward?

Thanks for any insight,

Joh
