hello Tom,
Thanks for your effort on the IPv6 support. I find it amzing how productive you 
are!

I have the rpm versions of 4.3.1 installed

I would like to give some feeback on the IPv6 support. So far I have used 
6wall, but 
I am not exactly up to date on IPv6 support in Linux, so please bear with me if 
I 
make silly mistakes:

1) The IP_FORWARDING option 4.3.1 is not accepted:
WARNING: Unknown configuration option (IP_FORWARDING) ignored : 
/etc/shorewall6/shorewall6.conf (line 94)

2) On my (Centos5) there are some lines in macro.AllowICMPs that are not 
accepted. 
At the end there are a number of lines where protocol icpv6-icmp is used. This 
protocol is not in the 
/etc/protocols file, and I could not find any info on it on the internet. The 
port values seem to suggest
that this is normal icmpv6. Comments?

3) /usr/share/shorewall6/modules file is the same as for ipv4. Did you miss to 
include the ipv6 version?
I copied the modules6 file from 6wall info /etc/shorewall6, but that does not 
work either

4) It does not work for me. It looks as if connection tracking is not 
supported. Could that be correct?
When I set the policy to accept with logging, I see responses to ssh that I use 
for testing in the  logfile

best regards,
Louis
