Hi Andre

I think you have to create two files in /var/ipcop/shaping which may be
missing from the 131alpha1 iso. I've hacked my test box so heavily, it's
difficult to tell what's original any more :)

The files don't have to contain any information, as the shaping.cgi edits
them for you. But if you can't find these two files in /var/ipcop/shaping,
create them and change their ownership by executing the following commands
from a console:

touch /var/ipcop/shaping/settings
touch /var/ipcop/shaping/config
chown 99:99 /var/ipcop/shaping/*
