Low priority, just an idea for future revisions... Checking for valid [GU]IDs in the user/group column during "shorewall check" would be great. I just knocked a server offline with a "shorewall check && shorewall restart" cause it didn''t catch that. Woops! If I get some free cycles before anyone gets a chance, I''ll look into implementing it myself and send a patch.
