shorewall noob question

Hi Folks,


Just subscribed as I am confused about shorewall...
Here's my story (in a nutshell)
I've inherited a shorewall configuration on a few systems. However, documentation is not available and I don't know shorewall at all.
So, at first I started digging in the man pages, configuration files, the shorewall website and searched the net with google and I thought I got
a feeling of how the applications works
However, there are some questions which I cannot get answered ( Or I am asking the wrong kind of questions, that's possible also) 
Anyway, for now I would like to know :

- Hoe does shorewall stand against iptables ? Does it need iptables or do both programs co-exist nicely ?
- How are chains defined in shorewall ? I get a lot of output when I do a 'shorewall show', but I cannot figure out where the chains come from. Or are they the result of shorewall combining the config from the policy config file ?

That's it for starters. Hope you guys can help me out or point me in the right direction.

cheers,
Andy
