Hi All,

I am trying to use shorewall6 to DROP/REJECT TCP/IPv6 traffic. I am
running shorewall6 4.4.26.1 with one interface configuration on Ubuntu
12.04. What I found was that DROP works correctly, but REJECT does
not.

I have the following in /etc/shorewall6/policy

#SOURCE         DEST            POLICY          LOG LEVEL       LIMIT:BURST
$FW                  net               REJECT
net                    $FW             DROP            info
net                    all                DROP            info

# The FOLLOWING POLICY MUST BE LAST
all             all             REJECT          info

Then when I try to TCP connect to a host, I don't get the connection
refused immediately as shorewall does for TCP/IPv4. But the connection
is trying until it is timed out later.

Does anybody have any idea why I am getting this and how I make REJECT
work as expected for TCP/IPv6.

Your help is highly appreciated.
