   Just noticed there is a known bug that prevents disabling the firewall   
   and the work-around was to either:   
   (1) urpme shorewall-ipv6   
   or   
   (2) systemctl stop shorewall.service   
       systemctl disable shorewall.service   
      
   Will try that tonight.   
      
   Is systemctl the equivalence of MD's "service" to turn on   
   and off services ?   
      
   Thanks,
