Can't remember with Shorewall. With Firestarter or FWBuilder, you
disable the iptables service. Firestarter starts as a service
and is defaulted to start when you install it. If you have
iptables and Firestarter services enabled to start at boot, you
definitely can end up with conflicts and 'piled-on' rules.
FWBuilder creates an executable script which you then run at
boot time - there are various ways to make that happen, but
again, you don't want to run that script on top of running the
iptables service - it's one or the other.
