shorewall question [solved]

I decided to remove guarddog and go with the native firewall which is accessed through MCC on my 2005 LE box. After configuring, a service shorewall was turned on. I also noticed that the service iptables was off. Is this normal?

 

My feeble memory tells me that when guarddog was installed and running, the service iptables was on.

 

I tries a search here on MUB, but found nothing.

iptables is a kernel module, and shorewall sends iptables commands directly to the kernel, so iptable (the service) shouldn't be running.

 

Guarddog send iptables commands to the iptables service so the service needs to be running
