It appears that you are misunderstanding what those commands do. See http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm#id2507868 for more detail.

With the view of including Shorewall commands to open and close the ssh port 25 when accessed from the internal network, I tried the following line from a command prompt: shorewall allow 192.168.11.0/24:25 Which evoked the response from shorewall: Not dropping or rejecting from 192.168.11.0/24:25 - which seemed to be what I wanted. I then tried closing the port with the similar line: shorewall drop 192.68.11.0/24:25 This produced an error, refering to iptables. What would be the correct lines to do what I would like, please? (I'd rather do it with shorewall. For now at least, iptables is a can of worms that shall be firmly kept closed!)
