Hello all. One quick question. Is it ok to use the same config files as I upgrade to newer versions of Shorewall? What I usually do is tar up /etc/shorewall/* and then install the new one then delete /etc/shorewall/* and put the tarred ones back. I hope this is ok to do and I won''t loose and features or anything. I''ve done this since 1.3.3 or 1.3.4.....can''t remember :-) Joe
