This is covered in the "Introduction to Shorewall" (http://www.shorewall.net/Introduction.html) which apparently few people read since this question comes up regularly. $FW is the shell variable that holds the name of the firewall zone as given in /etc/shorewall/zones. So the first entry above is not valid; the second is. Once you have the second entry, then anywhere else in the configuration, you can use $FW in place of fw. If your entry in /etc/shorewall/zones was: foo firewall then $FW is the same as foo in the rest of the configuration. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
