My concern/question is this: networking comes up at S35 in runlevel 0 so my internet is up and there is no firewall running so far. System will switch to runlevel 2 where it will start other serverices and at S90 it will start the firewall. So for this short time between S35networking and S90shorewall my system is not protected at all, this is my concern and question is "isn't this a security risk ?"
