Shorewall Download

I strongly urge you to read and print a copy of the Shorewall QuickStart Guide for the configuration that most closely matches your own.

The entire set of Shorewall documentation is available in PDF format at:

    ftp://slovakia.shorewall.net/mirror/shorewall/pdf/
    http://slovakia.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/pdf/
    rsync://slovakia.shorewall.net/shorewall/pdf/

The documentation in HTML format is included in the .rpm and in the .tgz packages below.

Once you've printed the appropriate QuickStart Guide, download one of the modules:

• If you run a RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake, Linux PPC or TurboLinux distribution with a 2.4 kernel, you can use the RPM version (note: the RPM should also work with other distributions that store init scripts in /etc/init.d and that include chkconfig or insserv). If you find that it works in other cases, let me know so that I can mention them here. See the Installation Instructions if you have problems installing the RPM.
• If you are running LRP, download the .lrp file (you might also want to download the .tgz so you will have a copy of the documentation).
• If you run Debian and would like a .deb package, Shorewall is included in both the Debian Testing Branch and the Debian Unstable Branch.
• Otherwise, download the shorewall module (.tgz)

The documentation in HTML format is included in the .tgz and .rpm files and there is an documentation .deb that also contains the documentation.  The .rpm will install the documentation in your default document directory which can be obtained using the following command:

rpm --eval '%{defaultdocdir}'

Please verify the version that you have downloaded -- during the release of a new version of Shorewall, the links below may point to a newer or an older version than is shown below.

• RPM - "rpm -qip shorewall-version.noarch.rpm"
• TARBALL - "tar -ztf shorewall-version.tgz" (the directory name will contain the version)
• LRP - "mkdir Shorewall.lrp; cd Shorewall.lrp; tar -zxf <downloaded .lrp>; cat var/lib/lrpkg/shorwall.version"

Once you have verified the version, check the errata to see if there are updates that apply to the version that you have downloaded.

WARNING - YOU CAN NOT SIMPLY INSTALL THE RPM AND ISSUE A "shorewall start" COMMAND. SOME CONFIGURATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE THE FIREWALL WILL START. Once you have completed configuration of your firewall, you can enable startup by removing the file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled.
