====== Running bastille on debian lenny ======

After an upgrade from etch to lenny, the bastille firewall will not run any more:
  * Starting up will give you an error message about a missing /sbin/bastille-ipchains file
  * Reconfiguring (which would create that file) fails because DB5.0 is not supported

The problem: DB5.0 was not added to the supported OS lists in the debian lenny release. 

The fix: 
  * Add DB5.0 to the files: ''/usr/lib/Bastille/API.pm'' and ''/usr/lib/Bastille/IOLoader.pm''
  * In API.pm change ''$stable="4.0"'' to ''$stable="5.0"'' 
  * Run ''InteractiveBastille'' (your existing config file will be used to populate answers, no worries!)

After this, ''/etc/init.d/bastille-firewall'' start should work.
