These manpages are for Shorewall 4.0 only. They describe features
and options not available on earlier releases.
The docbook to manpage translation tool that we are using has some
indentation issues which require us to choose between correct output of
the man command and correctly-indented HTML. We've chosen in favor of the
man command so some of the manpages accessed through the links below have
indentation problems. We're working to resolve these issues and ask for
your patience.
