<para><emphasis role="bold">Note to Debian and Ubuntu
Users</emphasis></para>
<para>If you install using the .deb or using the tarball installers with
the default <filename>shorewallrc.debian</filename> file, you will find
that your <filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename>
directory is practially empty. This is intentional. When you install the
.deb, the released configuration file skeletons may be found on your
system in the directory <filename
class="directory">/usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config</filename>. If
you install using the tarball installers, the files are in the
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/configfiles</filename> sub-directory.
Simply copy the files you need from the appropriate directory to
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> and modify the
copies.</para>
