<title>Shorewall Requires:</title>

<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>A kernel that supports netfilter. I've tested with 2.4.2 -
|
|
2.4.23. With current releases of Shorewall, Traffic Shaping/Control
|
|
requires at least 2.4.18. Check <ulink url="kernel.htm">here</ulink>
|
|
for kernel configuration information. If you are looking for a
|
|
firewall for use with 2.2 kernels, see <ulink
|
|
url="http://seawall.sourceforge.net">the Seattle Firewall site</ulink>.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>iptables 1.2 or later but beware version 1.2.3 -- see the <ulink
|
|
url="errata.htm">Errata</ulink>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<warning>
|
|
<para>The buggy iptables version 1.2.3 is included in RedHat 7.2 and
|
|
you should upgrade to iptables 1.2.4 prior to installing Shorewall.
|
|
Version 1.2.4 is available <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2001-144.html">from
|
|
RedHat</ulink> and in the <ulink url="errata.htm">Shorewall Errata</ulink>.</para>
|

</warning>
|

</listitem>
|

<listitem>

<para>Iproute (<quote>ip</quote> utility). The iproute package is
|
|
included with most distributions but may not be installed by default.

The official download site is <ulink type="remote"

<listitem>

<para>A Bourne shell or derivative such as bash or ash. This shell

must have correct support for variable expansion formats ${<emphasis>variable%pattern</emphasis>},

${<emphasis>variable%%pattern</emphasis>}, ${<emphasis>variable#pattern</emphasis>}
|
|
and ${<emphasis>variable##pattern</emphasis>}.</para>

|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Your shell must produce a sensible result when a number n (128
|
|
<= n <= 255) is left shifted by 24 bits. You can check this at
|
|
a shell prompt by:<itemizedlist><listitem><para>echo $((128 <<
|
|
24))</para></listitem><listitem><para>The result must be either
|

2147483648 or -2147483648.</para></listitem></itemizedlist></para>

awk (gawk) installed.</para>
