[Shorewall-users] Q: Problem about "INCLUDE" directive

[J. Nyhuis]

	Greetings,

	I am trying to break my shorewall/rules file into a series of
smaller files using the INCLUDE directive.  The plan is that each IP
managed by shorewall should have it's own rules file.

My shorewall/rules file now contains, among other lines:
INCLUDE rules-128.208.120.70
INCLUDE rules-128.208.120.71
etc.

However, when I start Shorewall I receive the following message:

   Error: Invalid Target in rule "INCLUDE rules-128.208.120.70"
Processing /etc/shorewall/stop ...

In this case, rules-128.208.120.70 is an empty file, so it can't be that
there is a problem with a rule in that file.
The permissions are the same for rules as for rules-128.208.120.70, so I
don't think that's the problem.

I searched the archive for related threads and came up with nothing.
Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
John N.
