The checks that *Shorewall* makes are identical during 'check', 'start'
and 'restart'. But we can never guarantee that iptables-restore won't
find something to complain about. That's why I always recommend saving
your configuration ("shorewall save") once you are satisfied that it is
working correctly. That way, if you change the configuration and
'restart' fails during the execute phase, your firewall will be restored
to its last good state.
