Not heard of it. What is the output of :

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Where is this file?

From a quick search on Google its a configuration file for a firewall but I can't find any reference to it being used on Ubuntu.

Slackware and Damn Small Linux use it but not Ubuntu.

There is a note on using it in Debian here:

Hi, Warren and Andrew,

I came across this name recently at our local Unix-Linux group's website TWUUG. Thank you for your helpful responses and clues.
