I made some interesting finds I'd like to share.

iptables 1.4.20 introduced a new locking mechanism to avoid failures
during concurrent invocations [1]; a -w option has been introduced in
order to have iptables wait until lock is released, and it seems that
the issue can be solved by enabling that feature.

I'd like to file a bug report, but I'm wondering whether to file it
against shorewall or against iptables, since its locking/wait mechanism
should probably be enabled by default in order to ensure the iptables
command will really do what is expected to. Any opinions?

Thanks,


Maurizio
