I''ve encountered a handful of minor bugs.... if anyone cares to look at
them,
please let me know if you can''t reproduce them, and I''ll try
harder to figure
out what''s going on. These all occur using 4.0.0-Beta1 and the perl
compiler, I
haven''t checked the shell compiler.
1) Not sure about this first one, but I think it''s correct:
in /sbin/shorewall, in safe_commands(), compiler() is invoked as:
compiler run $debugging nolock compile ${VARDIR}/.$command
but should(?) be invoked as:
compiler run $debugging $nolock compile ${VARDIR}/.$command
2)
When using the perl compiler, running shorewall with either:
shorewall debug ...
or
shorewall nolock ...
causes compiler() in /sbin/shorewall to pass these options on to the perl
compiler, however the perl compiler doesn''t understand them, and
shorewall fails
(the perl compiler misinterprets its arguments and ends up creating the compiled
script in the wrong location).
3)
During a "shorewall start", the (perl-)compiled script may run
"iptables-restore
< /var/lib/shorewall/.iptables-restore-input" to config the firewall. If
iptables-restore encounters an error, the compiled script attempts to restore
from /var/lib/shorewall/restore even when it doesn''t exist. If it
doesn''t exist,
this can lead to a partially-configured firewall. It should probably try to stop
or clear the firewall if /var/lib/shorewall/restore doesn''t exist.
4)
/etc/initdone is apparently ignored (at least with the perl compiler); not sure
if this is by design and the docs need updating, or if this is a bug.
On an unrelated note, I have to say 4.0.0 is looking really nice. I
haven''t had
the opportunity to use Shorewall in a while (last time was v2.4.2), but I
continue to be amazed at how much effort (and patience) Tom continues to
provide. Thanks!
