Hi Tom, I am using shorewall to manage the firewalls on most of my VMs. I use shorewall lite on my VM's.
Today I did a long overdue configuration update on the configuration on the different VMs. Request 1: I used symlinks for a lot of the configuration files that are common on all VMs. After a "shorewall update ." on the configuration a lot of the files were updated and replaced by the updated files in the working directory. Would it be possible to find a way whereby the backup is saved as a new file and the file pointed at by the symlink is modified in place? It might even be better to follow the symlink and make the modifications in the directory it points to (save the .bak there)? Request 2: shorewall remote-reload and friends require the remote system name to be specified. Would it be possible to check a parameter (for example from params) and make the system name optional? This will avoid the risk of reloading the wrong system if the admin is absent minded :-) Kind regards,Louis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Shorewall-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-devel
