<p><strong>Shorewall includes a </strong><a href="#fallback"><strong>fallback
script</strong></a><strong> and an </strong><a href="#uninstall"><strong>uninstall
script</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
<h2><a name="fallback"></a>Falling Back to the Previous Version of Shorewall
using the Fallback Script</h2>
<p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li>cd to the distribution directory for the version of Seattle
Firewall <u>that you are currently running </u>(NOT the version
that you want to fall back to).</li>
<li>Type "./fallback.sh"</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong><u>Warning:</u> 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.</strong></h3>
<h2><a name="rpm"></a>Falling Back to the Previous Version of Shorewall using
rpm</h2>
<p>If your previous version of Shorewall was installed using RPM, you may
fall back to that version by typing "rpm -Uvh --force &lt;old rpm&gt;" 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).</p>
<h2><a name="uninstall"></a>Uninstalling Shorewall</h2>
<p>If you no longer wish to use Shorewall, you may remove it by:</p>
<ul>
<li>cd to the distribution directory for the version of Shorewall
that you have installed.</li>
<li>type "./uninstall.sh"</li>
</ul>
<p>If you installed using an rpm, at a root shell prompt type "rpm -e shorewall".</p>
