Actually, in your first e-mail you never mentioned the platform you were using: https://sourceforge.net/p/shorewall/mailman/message/36189733/ My understanding is that lock is only used on OpenWRT.

You seem to be using an old version of OpenWRT/shorewall-lite? -Matt -- Matt Darfeuille ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
