With the standard Shorewall installation, /sbin/shorewall is a shell script -- you have made it into a directory and have done some odd thing with the files in that directory. How do you expect the provider of a package to help you when you modify that package (in this case Shorewall) like that??? -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy AIM: tmeastep \ http://www.shorewall.net ICQ: #60745924 \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
