Thanks.
Well, in the above two examples, I understand that shorewall should start at a
user-defined point in init.
The maintainer of a distribution should choose "safe" settings, ie. boot
shorewall after "anything that shorewall **could** require" has started.
If the user wants to start shorewall before the NICs are up then it's up to
him/her.
Thanks again,
