<title>Description</title>
<para>This file specifies which kernel modules Shorewall will load before
trying to determine your iptables/kernel's capabilities. Each record in
the file has the following format:</para>
<cmdsynopsis>
<command>loadmodule</command>
<arg choice="plain"><replaceable
class="parameter">modulename</replaceable></arg>
<arg rep="repeat"><replaceable>moduleoption</replaceable></arg>
</cmdsynopsis>
<para>The <replaceable>modulename</replaceable> names a kernel module
(without suffix). Shorewall will search for modules based on your
MODULESDIR and MODULE_SUFFIX settings in <ulink
url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(8). The
<replaceable>moduleoption</replaceable>s are passed to modprobe (if
installed) or to insmod.</para>
<para>The /usr/share/shorewall/modules file contains a large number of
modules. Users are encouraged to copy the file to /etc/shorewall/modules
and modify the copy to load only the modules required.<note>
<para>If you build monolithic kernels and have not installed
module-init-tools, then create an empty /etc/shorewall/modules file;
that will prevent Shorewall from trying to load modules at all.
