SMURF_LOG_LEVEL is specified has been improved for both IPv4 and
IPv6.
5) Previously, specifying a TYPE in /etc/shorewall/tcinterfaces would
cause start/restart to fail on systems lacking 'flow' classifier
support. While we currently know of no safe way to test for that
support, in Shorewall 4.4.7 we use other hints to surmise that the
installed toolset is likely to be too old to support 'flow' and
simply ignore the TYPE setting. In particular, RHEL5 and
derivatives no lonter experience a startup failure when TYPE is
specified.
