Not on Debian. The message is Debian specific and states exactly where to go to find the answer. >> Oct 22 10:07:32 EMPVL0114254 shorewall [10916]: Please read about >> Debian specific customization in >> Oct 22 10:07:32 EMPVL0114254 shorewall [10916]: >> /usr/share/doc/shorewall/README.Debian.gz.

There is no sane and generally applicable default configuration*, so the sensible thing to do is to issue a warning to the user/admin. You can set the startup variable to 1 without doing any config, Shorewall will then issue it's own complaints when it tries to start, but it's better to make a sensible config first. * Plus, as pointed out further down the file, if any config files are provided by default, then it makes upgrades harder. The packager will prompt the user what to do with any package provided file that's been modified from standard - whether to use the new one, old one, or look at the differences. For a large number of files this becomes "tedious". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
