Hi Tom,

thanks for your reply. Yes i Meant 4.4.24. I got a bit confused with shorewall 
and shorewall-perl  but i guess i now get it.

But I'm actually getting another error:

I'm running Centos 5.7 with iptables 1.3.5 
And while compiling on the management system with the command:
Shorewall load firewallDNSname

I receive the error:
ERROR:  Your iptables is not recent enough to support bridge ports : 
/opt/shwallexport/fw01/interface (line 233)

So I tried the same setup with Centos 6 with iptables 1.4.7
And I receive the same error.

I Configured like mentioned here: 
http://www.shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html.

You've got any idea on that issue ?

Best Regards

Alex

Presumably, you mean 4.4.24-1?

(FAQ 14) I can't find the Shorewall 4.4 shorewall-common, shorewall-shell and 
shorewall-perl packages? Where are they?

Answer:In Shorewall 4.4, the shorewall-shell package was discontinued. The 
shorewall-common and shorewall-perl packages were combined to form a single 
shorewall package.

Yes.

If you have Shorewall 4.4.24, then you have Shorewall-perl as mentioned above.

Which is the correct HOWTO.
