I feel sorry, I thought I had successfully attached a fixed patch that describes the bug. Next try :-)

Problem with the provided version is that systemd can not start shore wall, as /etc/shorewall is a directory and also there are no environment variables that have been passed to the start and stop keys. So I cleaned out the file and provided a fixed version for you

Thanks for the notice.

But this is already fixed in 4.5.21.7+. So please use the newer version from ~ARCH or wait until bug 511620 will be resolved for your ARCH.

This is fixed since 2014-09-19 when bug 511620 was resolved.
