Hi folks, If I do... shorewall drop x.x.x.x Then I do... shorewall save the blacklist file doesn''t seem to be updated. http://www.shorewall.net/blacklisting_support.htm states "save the dynamic blacklisting configuration so that it will be automatically restored the next time that the firewall is restarted". This infers the blacklisted ip''s will be saved, but where? Am I misinterpreting the documentation on how this feature works? I''m using shorewall-1.3.2-1 RPM package on Mandrake 8.2.
