At first I will thank you for your product.
 
These things I wish to suggest:
1. Please inform the user who wants to install the firewall and takes the 
description from here: http://shorewall.net/standalone.htm that the macros does 
not provide any magic.
So when he takes "macro.Webmin" by example this macro will not take care about 
the user by inspecting /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf which port to listen. Instead 
it sets the standard port of 10000 which is wrong after the  user has changed 
the port (in my case :1023).
 
2. On the same webpage it is described: "appropriate macro in 
/etc/shorewall/macro.*, the general format of a rule"  where in fact, at least 
on Fedora 20, which provides version 4.5.21.5, the macros are in 
"/usr/share/shorewall" and need not to be copyed to be under /etc.
 
3. There is also mentioned to change "/etc/shorewall/routestopped" on this 
page, but there is no file with this name on Fedora 20 and it seems not to be 
important?
 
4. Under "/usr/share/shorewall" there is a file actions.std. This extension is 
also a well known extension for StarOffice 6 and OpenOffice.org formatted 
files. So when you are on a TUI with midnight commander, it will not use the 
file command to detect that this file is ASCII text. No, it will consult mc.ext 
where it takes the information that this file should be viewed with odt2txt. 
This will not work. So a user might become a problem or at least gets a false 
idea about the format of this file.
