If you install Shorewall and discover that it doesn't work for you, you can fall back to your previously installed version. To do that:
cd to the distribution directory for the version of Shoreline Firewall that you want to fall back to.
Type “./install.sh”
If your previous version of Shorewall was installed using RPM, you may fall back to that version by typing “rpm -Uvh --force <old rpm>” at a root shell prompt (Example: “rpm -Uvh --force /downloads/shorewall-3.1.1-0.noarch.rpm” would fall back to the 3.1.1-0 version of Shorewall).
If you no longer wish to use Shorewall, you may remove it by:
cd to the distribution directory for the version of Shorewall that you have installed.
type “./uninstall.sh”
If you installed using an rpm, at a root shell prompt type “rpm -e shorewall”.
If you specified LIBEXEC and/or PERLLIB when you installed Shorewall, you must specify the same value to the uninstall script. e.g., LIBEXEC=libexec ./uninstall.sh.
