While troubleshooting my MultiISP box, I suspect I might have found
either a bug or an incompatibility with CentOS 5.2.
In prog.header (function detect_dynamic_gateway), Shorewall tries to look for:
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-${1}.lease
However (at least under CentOS 5 - unknown about other OSes), this should be:
/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-${1}.leases
(different path, and "leases" should be plural.)
After manually correcting this in prog.header, I was now having the
following error message:
Error: an inet prefix is expected rather than "10.0.0.1;".
ERROR: Command "ip -4 route replace 10.0.0.1; src 10.0.0.239 dev eth2
table 2" Failed
Could the issue be the trailing ";" that didn''t get stripped?
Relevant software versions:
CentOS 5.2
dhclient-3.0.5-13.el5
shorewall-4.2.8-2
shorewall-perl-4.2.8-2
iproute-2.6.18-7.el5
dhclient is a default out-of-the-box configuration, hooked to a cablemodem.
Let me know if you''d like me to also provide you with a copy of the
leases file generated by dhclient.
Regards,

And you need to pipe gateway through "sed ''s/;//''" to get rid of the extra semicolon. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
