Shorewall-lite has the same dependencies as Shorewall-common. If you install the shorewall-lite tarball, you will probably want to create /etc/shorewall/vardir and change the VARDIR to a directory that OpenWRT preserves between reloads. VARDIR is normally /var/lib/shorewall-lite but given that /var and /tmp are synonymous on OpenWRT, the firewall script is lost at each reload with that default setting. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
