Asking this questions actually answers it already. You are using the
default bash. ;-)  For completeness, here's how you find out anyway.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] shorewall]# grep ^SHOREWALL_SHELL shorewall.conf
SHOREWALL_SHELL=/bin/dash


This also matches with Toms findings regarding bash / ash in another
thread. Switching to a lightweight shell like ash should work around
this issue -- and gain some considerable [re]start speed improvement.

Of course, using a single zone instead of 50+ (see Toms suggestion and
the Performance docs [1]) will make starting Shorewall a whole new
experience, too...
