[Shorewall-users] Do I need shorewall6-rules as well as shorewall-rules?

[Bob Williams]

I have recently started running dual stack IPv4/IPv6.

Do I need to duplicate my shorewall-policy, shorewall-rules etc to the shorewall6 equivalents?

Thanks

Bob

If they are identical, you can put them in a common directory
(/etc/shorewall-common for example) and add that directory to the
CONFIG_PATH of both shorewall and shorewall6.
