I could do what you suggest, but the installed product wouldn't work. Each major distribution has a unique method for handling network interface up/down processing, and Shorewall-init must be installed to match that processing. The location and name of the scripts are different for each distribution, as are the parameters passed to those scripts. As a consequence, both the Shorewall-init installer and installed code have distribution-dependent logic. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
