Shorewall users - Apr 2002 - No lograte in default config anymore

Hi,

Until shorewall 1.2.11, we had a different LOGRATE default in
shorewall.conf.

it was:
LOGRATE="10/hour"
LOGBURST=5

now its:
LOGRATE=""
LOGBURST=""

Why was the default changed? Is is because logparsers will not find
anything useful if we have LOGRATE/LOGBURST defined?

Because many newbies get so many messages logged that logging gets
suspended -- the absense of log messages then confuses them.
