The /var/lib/lrpkg/shorwall.list file contains only a single entry for /etc/shorewall: etc/shorewall Hence, all files in etc/shorewall should be backup up when you back up the 'shorwall' package (unless there is something going on here that I don't understand -- I don't personally run LEAF so I don't have a way to experiment). -Tom -- Tom Eastep\ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

Except in rare cases (which will only occur at a major release), you can rename your /etc/shorewall directory, install the new .lrp, remove the new /etc/shorewall and replace it with the one you saved. Then backup the resulting package. The downside of this approach is that your config files will not contain documentation for new features. -Tom -- Tom Eastep\ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.

Not sure about shorewall, but "local.lrp" backs up anything in /usr/local. You can put copies of your configurations there, upgrade, then restore when in doubt.

[leaf-user] Bering and shorewall 2.0.x
Hi all, To upgrade to shorewall 2.0.x from version 1.4.2 on Bering, is it possible to install the new LRP on top of the existing one? Will it keep my current configurations? Sorry if this has been covered already (if so point me to an existing message). Thanks for any info!
