I have shorewall 4.6.1.2 (Debian package version 4.6.1.2-1). I am trying to use SAVE and RESTORE actions in the tcrules file, with a non-default mask, and it doesn't work. Here are the last few lines of output from /sbin/shorewall trace check: Checking /etc/shorewall/tcrules... IN===> SAVE(0x7f):T 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 all ERROR: Invalid SAVE ACTION (SAVE(0x7f):T) /etc/shorewall/tcrules (line 109) at /usr/share/shorewall/Shorewall/Config.pm line 1348.

Nothing worked. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? If it's a bug, my first suspect would be the "match" subs in the value of %tccmd assigned at line 853 of Shorewall/Tc.pm. --apb (Alan Barrett) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
