<title>Falling Back to the Previous Version of Shorewall using the
Fallback Script</title>
<para>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:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>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).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Type <quote>./fallback.sh</quote></para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<caution>
<para>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.</para>
</caution>

<section>
<title>Falling Back to the Previous Version of Shorewall using rpm</title>
<para>If your previous version of Shorewall was installed using RPM, you
may fall back to that version by typing <quote>rpm -Uvh --force &lt;old
rpm&gt;</quote> at a root shell prompt (Example: <quote>rpm -Uvh --force
/downloads/shorewall-3.1.1-0.noarch.rpm</quote> would fall back to the
3.1.1-0 version of Shorewall).</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Uninstalling Shorewall</title>
<para>If you no longer wish to use Shorewall, you may remove it by:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>cd to the distribution directory for the version of Shorewall
that you have installed.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>type <quote>./uninstall.sh</quote></para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
