My sincere apologies for the rapid-fire release candidates but given the
decision to eliminate the use of a symbolic link for /sbin/shorewall, I wanted
to get the changed code out to testers as soon as possible.

changes in 3.2.0 RC 3
1) The controversial symbolic link /sbin/shorewall has been
eliminated. The Shorewall Lite control program is now
/sbin/shorewall-lite. Those users who only run Shorewall Lite and
who prefer the name /sbin/shorewall may create a symbolic link as
follows:
ln -sf shorewall-lite /sbin/shorewall
incorrect direct reference to /var/lib/shorewall to be included in the
compiled script.
2) A typo in the compiler resulted in a wrong file being removed during
"shorewall stop" and "shorewall restart". The result was
generally harmless.
Shorewall Lite
--------------
Problems Corrected in 3.2.0 RC 2
1) The /usr/share/shorewall-lite/configpath file has been corrected to
correctly refer to /usr/share/shorewall-lite/.
2) The /etc/shorewall-lite/Makefile has been corrected to refer to the
proper directories.
3) The /usr/share/shorewall-lite/shorecap program has been corrected
to refer to the proper directories and to correct a typo that
prevented the program for detecting any capabilities.
4) The default value of SUBSYSLOCK in shorewall.conf has been changed.

In case you were having problems parsing my original annoucement, here''s a corrected version.
