[Devil-Linux-discuss] shorewall 4.2? TIME non-functional

[Stuart H. <st...@ha...>]

Regarding my previous inquiry:

	shorewall 4.2?

I managed to upgrade my home firewall to Devil-Linux 1.3.7.  I  
migrated my Shorewall configuration over, and everything works as it  
did before.  I upgraded to the Shorewall-perl compiler, as this is  
required for the new TIME feature in Shorewall.

Alas, Shorewall informs me that the TIME feature is not available to me:

---------------------------------------
Compiling /etc/shorewall/rules...
    ERROR: A non-empty TIME requires Time Match in your kernel and  
iptables : /etc/shorewall/rules (line 24)
---------------------------------------

I honestly don't know if Shorewall is correct.  I'm not very familiar  
with networking in general; this may be a symptom of my own  
cluelessness.  (Kind responses explaining my mistakes are welcome.  :-)

Regardless, of the above, I don't wish to seem ungrateful for all the  
work you folks are doing.  I've been running a Devil-Linux firewall on  
my home network for several years, and it's been flawless.  Devil- 
Linux is a distinguished public service, and I'm very grateful to all  
the D-L developers for it.

Thank you,
