Although this bug is 2 years old, I agree that it's a serious problem that deserves to be fixed. I noticed it right away when I installed firehol: the normal shutdown sequence of '/etc/init.d/firehol stop' allows all traffic to pass until the interfaces are brought down. The proposed patch is simple and would solve the problem. I would go even further however, by * setting the default STOP_ACTION to 'panic' instead of 'stop'. * inserting a warning into /etc/default/firehol, warning users not to use STOP_ACTION=stop.
