I think so if the /var/lib/lrpkg/shorwall.conf file points to it.
It could just use it if it exists (and makes sense).....
My point is that /var/lib/lrpkg/shorwall.conf should not point to files that do not exist.
I think that Charles's suggestion about using two packages makes this a bit more friendly. The main problem that I see with that approach is that it doesn't allow any way for me to add a new config file in the future and have it reflected in the Shorewall configuration menu.
Well, I believe they are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
If we include let's say /etc/shorewalluser/* in /var/lib/lrpkg/shorewall.list and /etc/shorewalluser/shorewall.conf in the /var/lib/lrpkg/swconf.list then, if swconf.lrp _was_ installed, the user configuration would be saved to swconf.lrp, else it would be saved to shorewall.lrp. In any case you would not need to populate /etc/shorewalluser/shorewall.conf as the backup script would take care of user config data. This sounds complicated, but from a user's perspective would be almost invisible.
Well, it sounds complicated to me -- I'm lost :-)
The main point I would like to see is a fallback configuration file which would be used if the user configuration is missing or produces a failure, so shorewall does not abort completely.
I assume that by "configuration file" you mean shorewall.conf (as opposed to shorwall.conf in /var/lib/lrpkg/).
