Shorewall users - Aug 2002 - Quick note regarding Gentoo 1.2 and Shorewall

Tom,

I have Shorewall (latest) configured and running on Gentoo Linux 1.2 without
a=20
hitch. One thing I''d like to mention in the install script, in the
end=20
routine you could probobly add this:

elif [ -x /sbin/rc-update ]; then
=09if rc-update add shorewall default; then
=09=09echo -e "\nFirewall will start automatically at boot"
=09else
=09=09cant_autostart
=09fi

(tested here)

All of the startup scripts are in /etc/init.d and can be removed with:
rc-update del shorewall default

There are only 3 runlevels by default. 1 is like init=3D1 on RH machine. 2 is=20
like init=3D3 on RH and 3 is a no-network runlevel.

Hoe that wasnt too confusing ;-)

Anyhow, if it helps, I''m glad to be of assistance.

Your long time user/tester...

I''ve added this to the install.sh in my tree and commited it to CVS. 
Please verify that I did it correctly.

Do you need support for this in the shorewall.spec file also?

Tom,

CVS entry is correct.

Since the OS doesn''t use RPM, I don''t see that this is
necessary although it
is possible to install RPM and use it, I haven''t done this since
it''s package
system is very nice.

Use your own discression there. There may be some who can''t give up
RPM.

Since I have no means for testing it, I''ll not add it for now...
