It''s safe to ignore the dependency -- you just need to manually arrange
for Shorewall to be started at boot time.

chkconfig is simply a command-line utility that installs the symlinks in
/etc/rc.d/rc*.d to start system services at different runlevels. It
understands special comments in boot scripts in /etc/rc.d/init.d that
tell it what to name the symlinks. You can install the symlinks
yourself.

Hi all,

I am trying to get Shorewall running on SuSE 7.3, since it has Freeswan 
precompiled (and I was failing at that with Red Hat).

When installing the .rpm, I get the message ''chkconfig is needed by
shorewall-
1.2-4''  I have forced the install with --nodeps, and it *appears* that 
shorewall does work.  The proxy arp works and the subnet behind it is happy.

Is there something deeper that will end up broken as a result, or is it safe to 
ignore this dependency?

Thanks,

Dan
