Might have been some merge issue with upstream policy.

I think Fedora and refpolicy implement configfile each in a different
way, this may (or may not) cause confusion when Fedora merges upstream
refpolicy in its branch.

In my view allowing iptables to read all config files is sub-optimal.

I would probably just allow:

shorewall_read_config(iptables)
