Shorewall users - May 2003 - Q: Problem about "INCLUDE" directive

Greetings,

	I am trying to break my shorewall/rules file into a series of
smaller files using the INCLUDE directive.  The plan is that each IP
managed by shorewall should have it''s own rules file.

My shorewall/rules file now contains, among other lines:
INCLUDE rules-128.208.120.70
INCLUDE rules-128.208.120.71
etc.

However, when I start Shorewall I receive the following message:

   Error: Invalid Target in rule "INCLUDE rules-128.208.120.70"
Processing /etc/shorewall/stop ...

In this case, rules-128.208.120.70 is an empty file, so it can''t be
that
there is a problem with a rule in that file.
The permissions are the same for rules as for rules-128.208.120.70, so I
don''t think that''s the problem.

I searched the archive for related threads and came up with nothing.
Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
John N.

Which version of Shorewall are you running?
