[Shorewall-users] RTNETLINK answers: File exists when adding providers

When I attempt to start shorewall (version 4.0.15) I get an RTNETLINK error
(see below).
/var/log/shorewall-init.log
[...]
21:02:18 Creating Interface Chains...
21:02:19 Adding Providers...
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
ERROR: Command "ip route add table 1 129.116.XXX.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel
s
cope link src 129.116.XXX.30" Failed
21:02:25 Shorewall-generated routing tables and routing rules removed
Terminated
Googling to try to understand this error hasn't been helpful. I am guessing
that the route already exists in another routing table, since when I run "ip
route" it shows up there.
ip route:
192.168.128.0/24 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.128.101
129.116.XXX.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 129.116.XXX.30
192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.1
192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.1
default via 129.116.XXX.254 dev eth2
Do I need to manually delete the routes that were added by running
/etc/init.d/networking restart before starting shorewall? I tried just deleting
the default route, but that didn't change things.
/etc/shorewall/providers:
#NAME NUMBER MARK DUPLICATE INTERFACE GATEWAY OPTIONS COPY
lan 1 201 main eth2 129.116.XXX.254 track,loose eth0
cell 2 202 main ppp0 - track,loose eth0
bgan 3 203 main eth3 192.168.128.100 track,loose eth0
I'm running Debian Lenny, kernel version 2.6.21, with iproute2-ss080725. Any
help in understanding why I am getting this error would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Don
