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 ;) Tom, I had seen a little about the test feature but never tried it. I guess I should as I am not completely done verifying that the VoIP is setup as best it can be. Thanks for the headsup. Richard
