Compiled from sources to build rpm (using rpmbuild) and then 
made/installed as a Live image, which is then copied to the target 
machine (plenty of RAM, very limited amount of "disk" space). The target 
system has 9 interfaces. I see that the rpm you are distributing 
(shorewall-init-4.5.14-0base.noarch.rpm) doesn't have these files either.

Yep, grep agrees, thanks!

In this case, I am assuming that "shorewall" (the service) needs to 
start prior to "shorewall-lite". I do remember having to alter the 
"shorewall-init" start up script to execute "shorewall compile" first 
(and I vaguely remember that you added a few alterations to 
shorewall(-init), as per my request, to accommodate this) as there was a 
chicken-and-egg scenario developing.

No problem for me then, thanks.
