Caution

Are you running Shorewall on Mandrake™ Linux with a two-interface setup?

If so and if you configured your system while running a Mandrake release earlier than 10.0 final then this documentation will not apply directly to your environment. If you want to use the documentation that you find here, you will want to consider uninstalling what you have and installing a configuration that matches this documentation. See the Two-interface QuickStart Guide for details.

The remainder of the Documentation supplements the QuickStart Guides. Please review the appropriate guide before trying to use this documentation directly.
