Shorewall includes
a fallback script
and an uninstall script.
Falling Back to the Previous Version of Shorewall
using the Fallback Script
If you install Shorewall and discover that
it doesn't work for you, you can fall back to your previously
installed version. To do that:
- cd to the distribution directory for the version
of Seattle Firewall that you are
currently running (NOT the version
that you want to fall back to).
- Type "./fallback.sh"
Warning: The fallback script
will replace /etc/shorewall/policy, /etc/shorewall/rules, /etc/shorewall/interfaces,
/etc/shorewall/nat, /etc/shorewall/proxyarp and /etc/shorewall/masq with the version of
these files from before the current version was installed. Any
changes to any of these files will be lost.
Falling Back to the Previous Version of Shorewall using
rpm
If your previous version of Shorewall was
installed using RPM, you may fall back to that version by typing
"rpm -Uvh --force <old rpm>" at a root shell
prompt (Example: "rpm -Uvh --force /downloads/shorewall-3.1=0noarch.rpm" would fall back to the 3.1-0
version of Shorewall).
Uninstalling Shorewall
If you no longer wish to use Shorewall, you
may remove it by:
- cd to the distribution directory for the version
of Shorewall that you have installed.
- type "./uninstall.sh"
If you installed using an rpm, at a root shell prompt
type "rpm -e shorewall".
