I have removed the controversial /sbin/shorewall symbolic link for RC3. The control program for Shorewall-lite will be /sbin/shorewall-lite. Systems with only Shorewall Lite installed can ease operator confusion by having a symbolic link /sbin/shorewall -> /sbin/shorewall-lite but Shorewall Lite will not attempt to create or maintain such a symbolic link. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
