Hi Roberto, Yes -- all of the packages depend directly or indirectly on Shorewall-core. Shorewall-init has no direct dependency, but to do anything useful, it requires on one of the four packages that produce a firewall (Shorewall, Shorewall6, Shorewall-lite or Shorewall6-lite). -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
