Hmm, I didn't think 4.5.5.3 was _that_ old. And of course all the documentation tells me that /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf absolutely under all circumstances must exist even if using an alternate directory so it seemed consistent with the behaviour I was seeing. Well if 4.6.7 has that behaviour changed, then it is probably time for an upgrade. I was just playing with shorewall show config and having no luck convincing it too look elsewhere. -- Len Sorensen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
