I just installed SW 5.2.8 (core, shorewall, init) followed by 'shorewall update' and 'shorewall reload'. The below is after multiple 'shorewall update followed by reload'. /var/lib/shorewall# ls -l firewall && shorewall reload && ls -l firewall -rwx------ 1 root root 76618 Oct 6 17:33 firewall Reloading Shorewall.... Initializing... Processing /etc/shorewall/init ... [snip] Setting up Route Filtering... Setting up Martian Logging... Preparing iptables-restore input... Running /sbin/iptables-restore --wait 60...
