Shorewall users - Feb 2003 - /sbin/shorewall: /etc/shorewall/functions: line 8: syntax errornear unexpected token

After the release of Shorewall webmin module  I''ll trying to migrate 
from fiaif to shorewall .
My dist. is Debian woody stable
The first sistem  instaled ( Petium 100, 1,2 GB HD, 32 MB of RAM and 2 
3COM 3C905 works fine at the first try, the only thing tha I must change 
was to open the webmin port to internal net .
The second system, is my personal firewall at home, is a 486 DX 4 100 
tith 36 MB of RAM, 1 GB HD and 2 3COM 3C509 .
To prevent any conflict I made a fresh install, after all necessary 
packages instaled, Webmin updated to 1.060, them antering at webmin, to 
config everything (jus like I''ve done in the pentium system !! ) when 
I''ll try to star shorewall, this error msg returns :

/sbin/shorewall: find_file: command not found

and do not release the cursor, I MUST change the console with 
"alt+fx"
to kill the process !!
Any idea ?!?
Thank you in advance for any help !!

What version of Shorewall did you think that you installed? The 
''functions'' file hasn''t lived in /etc/shorewall for
ages....

Again though, it looks like the file is corrupted, possibly by a Windows 
system. Try dos2unix.

Also, if you are going to run Shorewall under Webmin, you are going to 
have to have a MUCH later version of Shorewall.

The most recent stable release of Debian was on 19-Jul-2002.  Only
security updates have been made in the stable release since then, and
none to shorewall.

The versions available in the different branches of Debian can be seen
here:

 
<http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=shorewall&searchon=names&version=all&release=all>

The Debian shorewall package has few dependencies:

  <http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/shorewall.html>

so it should be easy to grab a later shorewall package (the .deb file)
from the Debian archive and install it on the woody box.
