as usual, you are totally right ;)
shorewall stores run-time related information there. normally it's save to
lose them, because shorewall generates them again when started next time, but
the directory structure of course is important.
in the (not default, but possible) case, that the state of the complete
firewall is saved when the router is shutting down, and restored at boot
time, then this directory must of course keep the content permanently. it's
for example also the directory where shorewall stores the iptables-save
output. (and because shorewall is quite slow in generating the firewall rules
on our embedded devices, it might be wise to use the "save" feature.)
so, to fix that correctly, the path must be changed. I take care of it, asap I
found time for it. maybe a bit later this evening/night. maybe tomorrow.
but, if I think about it. it makes even some postrm commands neccessary. the
directory can hold some files that have not been created by ipkg and because
of that not automaticly removed.
thx for the hint.
