I use the Opensuse distribution.
The firewall software that is included is not good for my use. I would like
to make a switch to Shorewall.
I see that the packages for Shorewall version 5 are not made for it in the
Opensuse repositories any longer. Only for version 4.
I read in the documentations
http://shorewall.net/download.htm#Sites
that the
"If you run a SuSE, Linux PPC, Trustix or TurboLinux distribution with a
2.4 or 2.6 kernel, you can use the standard RPM version (note: the RPM should
also work with other distributions that store init scripts in /etc/init.d and
that include chkconfig or insserv)."
On the Opensuse machines I have are more modern kernels, versions 4.1+ &
4.6+.
Also it is using systemd startup now, not the init.d scripts any longer.
Are the Shorewall RPMs that I can find in here
http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/5.0/shorewall-5.0.9
okay, including the systemd files and etc, for this more modern distro?
