Description-en: Shorewall initialization
This package provides two related features:
.
a) It allows the firewall to be closed prior to bringing up
network devices. This insures that unwanted connections are not
allowed between the time that the network comes up and when the
firewall is started.
.
b) It integrates with NetworkManager and distribution ifup/ifdown
systems to allow for 'event-driven' startup and shutdown.
.
The two facilities can be enabled separately.
.
When Shorewall-init is first installed, it does nothing until you
configure it.
