+# MODULE NAME SUFFIX
+#
+# When loading a module named in /etc/shorewall/modules, Shorewall normally
+# looks in the MODULES DIRECTORY (see MODULESDIR above) for files whose names
+# end in ".o", ".ko", ".gz" or "o.gz". If your distribution uses a different
+# naming convention then you can specify the suffix (extension) for module 
+# names in this variable.
+#
+# To see what suffix is used by your distribution:
+#
+#     ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter
+#
+# IMPORTANT: Those are back single quotes (upper lefthand corner of
+# your keyboard).
+#  
+# All of the file names listed should have the same suffix (extension). Set
+# MODULE_SUFFIX to that suffix.
+#
+# Examples: 
+#
+#	If all file names end in ".kzo" then set MODULE_SUFFIX="kzo"
+#	If all file names end in ".kz.o" then set MODULE_SUFFIX="kz.o"
