in case you did not know, shorewall has several options that allow the testing of new configurations e.g.: normal fw config in /etc/shorewall and testing config in /etc/shorewall-test you can test the new config for 2 mins with shorewall try /etc/shorewall-test 180 just in case you did not know.... peace, Tom p.s.: if the tested configuration stays active for 180 minutes then i made an error and the parameter is min instead of sec ;)
