<title>configure Script</title>
<warning>
<para>The configure script requires Bash 4.0 or later. Beginning
with Shorewall 4.5.2.1, a Perl version (configure.pl) of the script
is included for use by packagers that have to deal with systems with
earlier versions of Bash. The configure.pl script works identically
to the Bash version.</para>
</warning>
<para>The configure script creates a file named
<filename>shorewallrc</filename> in the current working directory.
This file is the default input file to the
i<command>nstall.sh</command> scripts. It is run as follows:</para>
