    I think that these messages are something that one would like logged. Sure=
    ly restarting your firewall isn't something that happens often?

Yes it happens often. I cannot modify bind setting unless I first kill
shorewall, I do not know why it's been like that but the rndc process
cannot be reached although I have enabled all shorewall DNS ports. So,

    # shorewall stop
    # bind restart  
    # shorewall start

is pretty usual situation for me. In addition, I do tweak shorewall rules
very often, because I have requested new rules to it that are included
in next upgrades. I also add or remove services, so shorewall needs
restarts at least for following months. I think those start|stop
messages cold be ignored by logcheck.
