Shorewall users - Jul 2003 - How to delete current masqueraded connections?

Hello,

Is there a way to delete all masqueraded connections? 
I tried:

shorewall reset
shorewall refresh
shorewall restart
shorewall clear -> shorewall start

In each case, if I do 

shorewall show connections

whatever masqueraded connections that had been
established before are still there.  I''d like to clear
these out if possible.

Why? Sometimes I forward some ports for gaming, but
I''d like to close off the connections after I''m done.

BTW, I''m running Shorewall 1.3.14 on a Bering LEAF
firewall.

Thanks for the help.

Jabez

Reboot -- then complain to the Netfilter developers. This topic gets lots 
of discussion on the Netfilter lists.

You can also try:

a) shorewall clear
b) keep removing netfilter modules until you can finally remove 
ip_conntrack
c) shorewall start

That strategy will delete ALL connection tracking entries, not just the 
masquerading ones. And according to what I read, some of your attempts to 
remove modules may hang requiring that you reboot anyway.
