Maybe it's just me, but I don't find the way SuSEFW2 does things simple at all. For a 'set and forget' network it probably works, but for a network with rules that are subject to change weekly, if not daily, this file is just too unreadable, because of all the comments lines that clutter the content. The small, less than 1 page, files in Shorewall have man-pages, so if I'm puzzled, I do '^Z; man shorewall-<..>; q; fg' and carry on. > Please tell me that this script is rubbish and I should look elsewhere.
