The IPFW_SET_NUM variable has been added since 1.9.11. Therefore, I think you ugraded to 1.9.11 or newer. If you have done some modifications in fwknop.conf you should have been asked what to do during the upgrade: - keep the local file (this is the default if I remmeber well) - install the maintainer's configuration file Thus, if you kept you local configuration file, you have not all the required variables to make fwknop >= 1.9.11 work. To avoid that problem, grab the latest configuration file and create another one with the variables you want to override. Then, instruct fwknop to use both of them by updating /etc/default/fwknop-server accordingly. Here is an example: DAEMON_ARGS="--Override-config /root/fwknop.override.conf" This way, you can set whatever variables you want without worrying about upgrades. Regards, -- Franck Joncourt
