1) On systems running Upstart, shorewall-init cannot reliably secure the firewall before interfaces are brought up. 2) If the output of 'env' contains a multi-line value, then compilation failed with an Internal Error. Workaround: In /etc/shorewall/params, reset any exported variables that have a multi-line value. Will be fixed in 4.4.15.1 or 4.4.16, whichever is released first. 3) If a params file does not appear in the CONFIG_PATH, compilation fails with the error: .: 31: Can't open /etc/shorewall6/params ERROR: Processing of /etc/shorewall6/params failed Workaround: 'touch /etc/shorewall/params' (or /etc/shorewall6/params).
