Shorewall HOW-TO & VPS Question

I''ve written a how-to for Shorewall on standalone web hosting servers,
since
I''ve been using it on my own cPanel servers for a while now without
problem:

HOW-TO: Shoreline Firewall (Shorewall) 2.0.2f

Any feedback would be kindly recieved :) (I am not a member of the mailing list
by the way)

As a seperate issue, does anyone use Shorewall in a VPS? I''ve just got
a VPS
from ServInt.com who use SWsoft''s Virtuozzo - after installing, I got
the
following messages when starting Shorewall:

root@vps01 [/usr/src]# shorewall start

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
