N-Help Shorewall will not start.

Hi I am new to ip tables, used to use simple firewall and did the wiki iptables simple firewall iptables rules to secure ports. I want to play with and learn iptables so installed shorewall and play with webmin, got lamp and webmin set up already.

Problem I am having systemctl fails to start shorewall.

● shorewall.service - Shorewall IPv4 firewall
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/shorewall.service; disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2014-06-17 09:50:54 EDT; 18s ago  Process: 18955 ExecStart=/usr/bin/shorewall $OPTIONS start (code=exited, status=2)
 Main PID: 18955 (code=exited, status=2)

[tom@arch ~]$

I do not have the experience to debug this myself yet. This is a standard install with config from the wiki. Pretty well it should work but does not.
