DNS names in iptables rules aren't nearly as useful as they

first appear. When a DNS name appears in a rule, the iptables utility
|
|
|
|
|
|
resolves the name to one or more IP addresses and inserts those addresses
|
|
|
|
|
|
into the rule. So changes in the DNS->IP address relationship that
|
|
|
|
|
|
occur after the firewall has started have absolutely no effect on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
firewall's ruleset. </p>

<h2>Using MAC Addresses</h2>
|
2002-12-28 16:38:03 +01:00

|
|
|
|
2002-11-24 21:08:19 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<p>Media Access Control (MAC) addresses can be used to specify packet
|
2002-12-28 16:38:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
source in several of the configuration files. To use this feature,
|
|
|
|
|
|
your kernel must have MAC Address Match support (CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MAC)
|
|
|
|
|
|
included.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2002-11-24 21:08:19 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<p>MAC addresses are 48 bits wide and each Ethernet Controller has a
|
|
|
|
|
|
unique MAC address.<br>
|
2002-12-28 16:38:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
In GNU/Linux, MAC addresses are usually written as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
series of 6 hex numbers separated by colons. Example:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@gateway root]# ifconfig eth0<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <b><u>02:00:08:E3:FA:55</u></b><br>

Because Shorewall uses colons as a separator for address
|
|
|
|
|
|
fields, Shorewall requires MAC addresses to be written in another
|
|
|
|
|
|
way. In Shorewall, MAC addresses begin with a tilde ("~") and
|
|
|
|
|
|
consist of 6 hex numbers separated by hyphens. In Shorewall, the
|
|
|
|
|
|
MAC address in the example above would be written "~02-00-08-E3-FA-55".<br>
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
<p><b>Note: </b>It is not necessary to use the special Shorewall notation
|
2002-12-28 16:38:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
in the <a href="MAC_Validation.html">/etc/shorewall/maclist</a> file.<br>

<h2><a name="Levels"></a>Logging</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, Shorewall directs NetFilter to log using syslog (8). Syslog
|
|
|
|
|
|
classifies log messages by a <i>facility</i> and a <i>priority</i> (using
|
|
|
|
|
|
the notation <i>facility.priority</i>). <br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
The facilities defined by syslog are <i>auth, authpriv, cron, daemon,
|
|
|
|
|
|
kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, syslog, user, uucp</i> and <i>local0</i> through
|
|
|
|
|
|
<i>local7</i>.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Throughout the Shorewall documentation, I will use the term <i>level</i>
|
|
|
|
|
|
rather than <i>priority</i> since <i>level</i> is the term used by NetFilter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The syslog documentation uses the term <i>priority</i>.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Syslog Levels<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Syslog levels are a method of describing to syslog (8) the importance
|
|
|
|
|
|
of a message and a number of Shorewall parameters have a syslog level
|
|
|
|
|
|
as their value.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Valid levels are:<br>
|
|
|
|

|
For most Shorewall logging, a level of 6 (info) is appropriate. Shorewall
|
|
|
|
|
|
log messages are generated by NetFilter and are logged using the <i>kern</i>
|
|
|
|
|
|
facility and the level that you specify. If you are unsure of the level
|
|
|
|
|
|
to choose, 6 (info) is a safe bet. You may specify levels by name or by
|
|
|
|
|
|
number.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Syslogd writes log messages to files (typically in /var/log/*) based
|
|
|
|
|
|
on their facility and level. The mapping of these facility/level pairs to
|
|
|
|
|
|
log files is done in /etc/syslog.conf (5). If you make changes to this file,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you must restart syslogd before the changes can take effect.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3>Configuring a Separate Log for Shorewall Messages</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of limitations to syslogd-based logging:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>If you give, for example, kern.info it's own log destination then
|
|
|
|
|
|
that destination will also receive all kernel messages of levels 5 (notice)
|
|
|
|
|
|
through 0 (emerg).</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>All kernel.info messages will go to that destination and not just
|
|
|
|
|
|
those from NetFilter.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Beginning with Shorewall version 1.3.12, if your kernel has ULOG target
|
|
|
|
|
|
support (and most vendor-supplied kernels do), you may also specify a log
|
|
|
|
|
|
level of ULOG (must be all caps). When ULOG is used, Shorewall will direct
|
|
|
|
|
|
netfilter to log the related messages via the ULOG target which will send
|
|
|
|
|
|
them to a process called 'ulogd'. The ulogd program is available from http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd
|
|
|
|
|
|
and can be configured to log all Shorewall message to their own log file.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download the ulod tar file and:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>cd /usr/local/src (or wherever you do your builds)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>tar -zxf <i>source-tarball-that-you-downloaded</i></li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>cd ulogd-<i>version</i><br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>./configure</li>
|
|
|
|
|

<li>make</li>

</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are like me and don't have a development environment on your firewall,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can do the first five steps on another system then either NFS mount your
|
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/src directory or tar up the /usr/local/src/ulogd-<i>version</i>
|
|
|
|
|
|
directory and move it to your firewall system.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now on the firewall system, edit /usr/local/etc/ulogd.conf and set:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>syslogfile <i><file that you wish to log to></i></li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>syslogsync 1</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
I also copied the file /usr/local/src/ulogd-<i>version</i>/ulogd.init to
|
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/init.d/ulogd. I had to edit the line that read "daemon /usr/local/sbin/ulogd"
|
|
|
|
|
|
to read daemon /usr/local/sbin/ulogd -d". On a RedHat system, a simple "chkconfig
|
|
|
|
|
|
--level 3 ulogd on" starts ulogd during boot up. Your init system may need
|
|
|
|
|
|
something else done to activate the script.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally edit /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and set LOGFILE=<i><file that
|
|
|
|
|
|
you wish to log to></i>. This tells the /sbin/shorewall program where to
|
|
|
|
|
|
look for the log when processing its "show log", "logwatch" and "monitor"
|
|
|
|
|
|
commands.<br>
