+    <para>Shorewall versions beginning with 3.2.0 use a "compile" then
+    "execute" approach. The Shorewall configuration compiler reads the
+    configuration files and generates a shell script. Errors in the
+    compilation step cause the script to be discarded and the command to be
+    aborted. If the compilation step doesn't find any errors then the shell
+    script is executed.</para>
