Yes. When you specify -e and don't specify CONFIG_PATH in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf, the compiler sets CONFIG_PATH such that it doesn't include /etc/shorewall. By adding '/etc/shorewall' to the command line, you insert that directory at the front of CONFIG_PATH. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
