If you want to install from the tarball: o Unpack the tarball o cd to the shorewall- directory o If you have an earlier version of Shoreline Firewall installed,see the upgrade instructions below o Edit the configuration files to fit your environment. To do this, I strongly advise you to follow the instructions at: http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_quickstart_guide.htm o Slackware users type: DEST=/etc/rc.d INIT=rc.firewall ./install.sh All other users type: ./install.sh o Start the firewall by typing "shorewall start" o If the install script was unable to configure Shoreline Firewall to start automatically at boot, you will have to used your distribution's runlevel editor to configure Shorewall manually. Upgrade: o run the install script as described above. o "shorewall check" and correct any errors found. o "shorewall restart"
