Hi I recently inherited a few linuxes box with Shorewall on them.
They needs some clean up so I'm taking it one step at a time. First I'm dealing with startup and shutdown. I notice that when shorewall's installed and running on a local system (Opensuse 13.2), if I do a package upgrade to a newer version of shorewall (using the distro's "zypper dup" command), that the upgrade occurs OK, but the network drops and I need to restart shorewall (always) and the network (sometimes). Then everything's back to normal. I don't have any problems with normal shorewall startup / shutdown, either on boot or from the command line. Only when I do this package upgrade. Not really an issue if the machine's local (THIS one is). BUt I can see this could be a nasty problem if I'm remote. I notice that there's some custom systemd startup scripts in here. I also see there's been some discussion in the recent past on the list about systemd startup issues and so on. I don't know enough about what's going on DURING the pkg upgrade yet, but thought I'd ask here to figure out where to poke 1st. Is there a setting or procedure to prevent something like this in Shorewall? I can't quite figure out what would be unique to the pkg upgrade procedure that's not also done in a start/stop.
