[gentoo-user] Shorewall config problem

[Peter Humphrey <peter@prh.myzen.co.uk>]

Morning all,

When emerging shorewall-5.2.1.1 I get an error from the kernel settings check:

CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4:   is not set when it should be.

This is with gentoo-sources-4.19.1. And indeed there is no such kernel 
parameter:

$ grep CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK /usr/src/linux/.config     
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK=m		<<< Note
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_MARK is not set
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK=y
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_ZONES is not set
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS=y
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS is not set
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_TIMEOUT is not set
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_TIMESTAMP is not set
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_LABELS is not set
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_AMANDA is not set
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_FTP=m
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_H323 is not set
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IRC=m
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_NETBIOS_NS is not set
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_SNMP is not set
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PPTP is not set
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_SANE is not set
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_SIP=m
# CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_TFTP is not set

On another box with gentoo sources 4.14.78 I get this:

$ grep CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IP /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV4=y
CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_IPV6=y

So far I've been ignoring the error, assuming that the entry I've noted above 
now combines IPV4 and IPV6.

Does the panel think this is worth a bug report against shorewall?
