<para>On Debian systems, an install using the tarball results in an

this problem, install <ulink

file</ulink> as /etc/init.d/shorewall (replacing the existing file
with that name). If you are just installing or upgrading to
Shorewall 2.0.0 or 2.0.1, then replace the <filename>init.debian.sh</filename>
file in the Shorewall distribution directory (shorewall-2.0.x) with
the updated file before running <command>install.sh</command> from
that directory.</para>

<title>Problem with iptables 1.2.9</title>

Final) or later then you need to patch your iptables 1.2.9 with <ulink

<title>Problems with RH Kernels after 2.4.20-9 and REJECT (also applies to
2.4.21-RC1)</title>
<para>Beginning with errata kernel 2.4.20-13.9, <quote>REJECT
--reject-with tcp-reset</quote> is broken. The symptom most commonly seen
is that REJECT rules act just like DROP rules when dealing with TCP. A
kernel patch and precompiled modules to fix this problem are available at
<ulink url="ftp://ftp1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/kernel">ftp://ftp1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/kernel</ulink></para>
<note>
<para>RedHat have corrected this problem in their 2.4.20-27.x kernels.</para>
