I assume that by "build shorewall from source", you mean running install.sh rather than running the build45 script from the shorewall/tools Git repository. When running install.sh, you can use either relative or absolute path names. If either of the settings is a relative pathname, then /usr/ is prepended to form an absolute pathname; otherwise the value is used as is. > > As for the backward compatibility aspect you mention above - I thought a > major revision (4.5.0, I think, qualifies) warranted corrections of such > magnitude.

Given that the scripts are changing so much for 4.5.1, it would probably be a good time to drop that compatibility, alright. > Well, if you do need to distinguish between Fedora and RedHat/RHEL, then > I suggest you use a different "sniff" method, because this isn't it - > both Fedora Core and RedHat/RHEL deploy/use /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. > I've taken another look at the previous Shorewall-init installer and it appears broken WRT Fedora/Redhat and Shorewall-init.
