Hi,
Shorewall is a great project -- I've used it for a while now and it
really does a great job. Thanks to all the people who put their work
into it.
I've stumbled across a bug while preparing to make a change to my rules
file. It seems that the backslash character "\" continues comment
lines. I don't think this is desirable behavior as it causes very
unexpected behavior when you comment out a line that ends in "\".
Backstory: While preparing to make a change to the rules file, new rules
were added in a commented state. shorewall restart was run at some
point which caused strange brokeness in the firewall. diffs against the
last know working config which was untouched for months showed only the
addition of the commented rules which led to a very puzzled debugging
session.
The new commented rule was added like this, which seems to have turned
the entire rule into a comment:
#DNAT net:x.x.x.x,y.y.y.y \
DNAT net:x.x.x.x \
internal:10.0.0.123 tcp 3306 - z.z.z.z
Cheers,
ds
