1) On systems running Upstart, shorewall-init cannot reliably secure
the firewall before interfaces are brought up.
2) Beginning with 4.4.16, compilation will fail if an empty shell
variable was referenced in a config file on a system where /bin/sh
is the Bourne Again Shell (bash).
Corrected in 4.4.16.1.
3) Startup can fail on a system where module autoloading is not
available and where TC_ENABLED=Simple is specified in
shorewall.conf.
Workaround:
If LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=No,
a) Copy /usr/share/shorewall/modules to /etc/shorewall/
b) Add 'loadmodule sch_prio' to the copy
If LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes,
a) Copy /usr/share/shorewall/helpers to /etc/shorewall/
b) Add 'loadmodule sch_prio' to the copy
4) If the SOURCE column in /etc/shorewall6/rules contains an address
enclosed in [...], a spurious error is generated:
Example:
net:[::/0]
ERROR: Invalid VLSM (0]) : /etc/shorewall6/rules (line 20)
Workaround:
Enclose the address in <...>. In the example above, use
net:<::/0>.
3) Currently, Shorewall does not check the length of the names of
accounting chains and manual chains. This can result in
errors when loading the resulting ruleset if a chain name is longer
than 29 characters.
