My apologies, for taking up your time. I'll try again running the latest version. I was just confused as to why the params file was not being parsed as a collection of variables. Given enough time I'll figure it out. Thanks for responding so quickly, and once again sorry for taking up your time. As they say, if everything else fails, take a look at the source.

You say that you are upgrading *to* 3.4.8. 3.4.8 was released more that 18 months ago and dropped from support when Shorewall 4.4.0 was released in August of this year. You also mention "the compiler is set to shell" -- Shorewall-perl wasn't released until 4.0.0 in August of this year. So... a) What version were you running before the upgrade? b) What version are you trying to run now? And, finally, please follow the instructions at http://www.shorewall.net/support.htm#Guidelines when 'shorewall start' fails. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
