don't know :) someone else will have to help you there...

something like this should do it:
for i in `sudo find /etc -name ._cfg\*`; do tkdiff `echo $i | awk
'{ sub(/._cfg...._/,""); print }'` $i; done
replace tkdiff with your favourite.

it will list files that have been accessed, only if you _don't_ have
noatime in /etc/fstab for that filesystem. noatime says don't update
the time when the file is accessed (but not changed). the default is
atime, but a lot of people use noatime for speed improvements.

There must be something, somewhere doing it.. Maybe you could join the
shorewall ml and see what they say? As a workaround, you could add this
to /etc/conf.d/net:
postup() {
if [[ $1 == "eth1" ]] ; then
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
fi
}
or something similar. Not the ideal solution, but at least it would do
it automatically.
sorry I can't help any further :)
