Hello. I have stumbled on a recently introduced but small bug that you
should be aware of. I have been unable to find any mention of this by
others after searching the mailing archives and the web. According to your
"Problem Reporting Guidelines" here is the required info:
$ /sbin/shorewall version
4.5.16.1
# cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.2.0-4-686-pae ([email protected]) (gcc version
4.6.3 (Debian 4.6.3-14) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2+deb7u2
Description of problem - The command "shorewall -qq check" no longer quiets
a successful check, but prints "Checking...". In fact, a large number of
-q's still prints this output. In my prior version, 4.5.5.3, this output
was silenced by -qq. I do not believe the current result is the intent of
the devs.
Working with 4.5.5.3:
# shorewall -q
check
Checking...
# shorewall -qq check
Not Working with 4.5.16.1:
# shorewall -qq check
Checking...
# shorewall -qqqqqqqqq check
Checking...
I will be happy to provide more detail if requested but I believe this to
be all that is necessary for this report.
I use the above command in a simple bash script that retrieves country
lists from the web, then updates the shorewall blrules file. If anyone is
interested in this script let me know. At this point the reported bug is
only a minor annoyance when the cron job running my script sends email that
normally should not be generated.
Thank you very much for your work.
BTW, while I am still quite a networking novice I do attribute most of my
knowledge to reading your shorewall guidelines and instructions over some
years. Almost anytime I have a networking question I first search the
shorewall pages for detailed but easy to understand explanations. Thank
you so much!
