It seems there was something wrong with the revised configuration files. revdep-rebuild didn't come up with anything related to the packages you identified, so I cheated and copied over the entire /etc/shorewall directory from my 2.6 system to the 2.4 partition (renaming the original directory to a dummy name first, just in case the result was bad<g>). I was then able to successfully restart shorewall and pass a stealth test on www.grc.com (shields-up). Thanks :-) Jeff -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
