[Eugene K. <the...@gm...>]

Hi again,

I managed to use the perl compiler for a better error message, this is what
I got.

Compiling /etc/shorewall/routestopped...
   WARNING: The 'norfc1918' option is deprecated
Compiling /usr/share/shorewall/rfc1918...
   ERROR: The norfc1918 option requires Connection Tracking Match in your
kernel and iptables : /usr/share/shorewall/rfc1918 (line 6)

Does this mean it is a kernel issue and I should contact my hosting?

Best regards,
Eugene
