Description

If a Captive Portal zone does not have the "Preserve connected users across reboot" option set and the firewall encounters an unclean shutdown, users are listed in the captive portal database and status as being online but their entries are not present in the correct IPFW tables. This can happen, for example, due to sudden power loss, crash/panic, or CLI reboot not using the expected scripts.

Currently at startup the Captive Portal code only checks if the preserve option is set and restores the IPFW entries if so. That check should have an else clause which resets the database if the user chose not to preserve the data.
