In looking at the resulting iptables rules (-L -nv) generated by
shorewall 3.2.3 I am noticing that the eth0_mac (for an eth0 interface
with the maclist option) chain is traversed before the Drop chain,
resulting in logging what would normally be dropped (unlogged) traffic
from non-maclisted clients.  i.e. broadcast noise, like SMB.

It seems to me that the Drop (i.e. SMB noise) should happen before the
maclist test as the permission of that mac is quite irrelevant to the
fact that we want noise suppressed from the logs.

I do want normal traffic from non-maclisted clients logged however as I
can then determine when people are dropping new hosts on the network.

Thoughts?
