Hi James, What exactly can go wrong with "cat /etc/shorewall/rules.d/*.rules" ? Only thing that I can see is if one of the directories doesn't exist or there are no '*.rules' files. Seems to me that if either of those are the case then the user has just shot himself in the foot and 'start' *should* fail.
