[Shorewall-users] FYI Fedora Extras

[Jerry V. <jv...@sh...>]

Hey all:

I was trolling around fedora extras, and discovered that Shorewall was =
no longer listed
as un-maintained, 2.4.5 was released on Sept. 5, in the repo Oct. 8. I'm =
going to monitor=20
the time it takes from when Tom releases, to its appearance in the =
extras repo.=20
http://fedoraproject.org/extras/4/i386/repodata/repoview/shorewall-0-2.4.=
5-2.fc4.html
Knowing that I used the 2.4.5-1 rpm, I did a "yum update" and shorewall =
was updated to=20
2.4.5-2, from the repo. Fedora user's with complex setups may not wish =
this to happen=20
before they're ready to migrate to the next release. To prevent this =
behavior, in the=20
fedora-extras.repo file, add "exclude=3Dshorewall".=20

The only other difference I came across was this patch:

Which, if I read that correctly, there is no default start values, so =
shorewall will not start
on a reboot. ls /etc/rc.d/rc3.d | grep shore
K90shorewall                                           =20
Good thing I didn't reboot....
So I "chkconfig --level 235 shorewall on"
and I get this:
ls /etc/rc.d/rc3.d | grep shore=20
S50shorewall=20
That is not the "25" in the chkconfig line....Anybody know why?

Just want to give the fedora users a heads up, before someone gets =
caught off guard.
