Exactly.
I found it quite difficult to set up iptables directly
(this was before I read your HOWTO!)
and more importantly I had no confidence
that my iptables gave me reasonable security.

I'm not sure, as I said earlier,
to what extent shorewall has become the standard way
of setting up iptables.
But I certainly think, if you are lazy like me,
that it saves a lot of brain cells.
