Package: shorewall
Version: 4.0.10-1
Severity: wishlist

The attached files for /etc/init.d/shorewall and /etc/default/shorewall allow 
one to restore a saved shorewall on reboot rather than re-compiling the 
shorewall every boot.  If you use 'shorewall safe-restart' to compile followed 
by 'shorewall save' once it compiles, you will never have a non-working 
firewall because of compilation errors.  And of course boot times are faster 
because you're not recompiling the firewall each reboot and instead are 
restoring a saved firewall.

Attachment: shorewall
Description: application/shellscript

# prevent startup with default configuration
# set the following varible to 1 in order to allow Shorewall to start

startup=1

# if your Shorewall configuration requires detection of the ip address of a ppp
# interface, you must list such interfaces in "wait_interface" to get Shorewall 
to
# wait until the interface is configured. Otherwise the script will fail because
# it won't be able to detect the IP address.
#
# Example:
#    wait_interface="ppp0"
# or
#    wait_interface="ppp0 ppp1"
# or, if you have defined  in /etc/shorewall/params
#    wait_interface=

#
# Startup options
#

restore_saved_state=TRUE
