Based on that correction the generated worning should also be changed 
from:
Checking /etc/shorewall/stoppedrules...
"WARNING: Entries in the routestopped file are processed as if 
ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes 
/etc/shorewall/stoppedrules (line 15)" to:
Checking /etc/shorewall/stoppedrules...
"WARNING: Entries in the stoppedrules file are processed as if 
ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes /etc/shorewall/stoppedrules (line 15)"!

Is there any reason why the stoppedrules file can not be used  with 
ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No?
