Shorewall's config files are in /etc/shorewall They are well documented. More info can be sound at www.shorewall.net Shorewall allows you to try out different configurations. Copy the shorewall config files to /etc/shorewall/test Make any changes in the test folder then enter shorewall try test Shorewall will attempt to run with the new config. If it does not work it will revert back to the old config after 20 seconds. When you are happy with the new config, copy it back to the regular folder. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
