We can''t tell what the problem is when you put ''main''
in the DUPLICATE column
without seeing your routing table *before* you try to start Shorewall. A
trace of ''shorewall start'' would also be helpful.

What I would suggest is that you place ''main'' in the DUPLICATE
column and
''none'' in the COPY column. I think that will avoid the error
that you are
seeing.

If that allows Shorewall to start and you still have ''obscure
things''
happening then please collect the output of ''shorewall dump''
(shorewall 3.0)
or ''shorewall status'' (shorewall 2.x).

Thanks,
