[Shorewall-users] blacklist isnt working

[Mainul I. <sh...@sm...>]

Hi tom

i am using shorewall-1.3-0
as per the maillist i have added something to the following files
in
/etc/shorewall/params
BLACKLIST=`cat /etc/shorewall/blacklist`
BLACKLIST=`echo eth0:$BLACKLIST | sed 's/ /,eth0:/g'`

in /etc/shorewall/hosts

bl	eth0:$BLACKLIST

in /etc/shorewall/policy
bl              all             DROP            -

in /etc/shorewall/zones
bl      Blacklist       List of black-listed hosts/nets
 
after changing these files when i am restarting firewall i am getting
error messages

Warning: wierd character in interface `eth0:eth0' (No aliases, :, ! or *).

Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
