it is processing a request to start Shorewall. Beginning with
Shorewall 4.0.0, the default is to not use -f. If you wish to change
the default, you must set the OPTIONS shell variable in either
<filename>/etc/default/shorewall</filename> or
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/shorewall</filename> (if your distribution
provides neither of these files, you must create one or the other).
For example, to continue to use -f under Shorewall 4.0.0 and later,
you would have:<programlisting>OPTIONS="-f"</programlisting></para>
