+ If you see packets being dropped in the rfc1918 chain and
+ neither the source nor the destination IP address is reserved by
+ RFC 1918, that usually means that you have a old
+ rfc1918 file in /etc/shorewall (this problem most
+ frequently occurs if you are running Debian or one if its
+ derivatives). The rfc1918 file used to
+ include bogons as well as the three ranges reserved by RFC 1918
+ and it resided in /etc/shorewall. The file now only
+ includes the three RFC 1918 ranges and it resides in /usr/share/shorewall. Remove the
+ stale rfc1918 file in /etc/shorewall.
