[Shorewall-users] Testing PPP support in Shorewall-init

[<pea...@sh...>]

Odd that the first paragraph of my message was removed.
In case it wasn't removed deliberately, here it is again.

A Debian Squeeze system with Shorewall and Shorewall-Init, 
both 4.4.19.1-1, is running here.  No failures have been 
observed in the small network, described in 
  http://carnot.yi.org/NetworksPage.html .  
The PPP connections through serial cross-over cable and 
through modems work with both values for IFUPDOWN in 
/etc/default/shorewall-init.  I've made no tests beyond 
ordinary use.  Anyone interested in a specific test or 
output is welcome to email.

My only complaint is a trivial one.  The notes in 
/usr/share/doc/shorewall/README.Debian are very helpful to 
a novice.  The analogue /usr/share/doc/shorewall-init/README.Debian 
is non-existent.  With current technology, Web based documentation 
is preferable to local documentation for most requirements   
but I accept that *nix systems have a deeply established 
tradition.  So a README.Debian for Shorewall-Init might be 
helpful.

Thanks for the very professional work,     ... Peter E.
