Package: apf-firewall
Version: 9.7+rev1-2
Severity: important
The SET_REFRESH option in conf.apt does not work because the cron daemon will
ignore scripts in /etc/cron.d/ with dots (.) in their name, therefore the
refresh.apf link is ignored.
Instead cron will always download the rules once a day.
Interestingly, if you rename the refresh.apf and take out the dot, cron will
complain saying that there is an error in the minutes format (Debian specific
issue?)
