<h1 align="center">Starting/Stopping and Monitoring the Firewall</h1>

<p>
|
|||
|
If you have a permanent internet connection such as DSL or Cable, I
|
|||
|
recommend that you start the firewall automatically at boot. Once you
|
|||
|
have installed "firewall" in your init.d directory, simply type "chkconfig
|
|||
|
--add firewall". This will start the firewall in run levels 2-5 and stop
|
|||
|
it in run levels 1 and 6. If you want to configure your firewall differently
|
|||
|
from this default, you can use the "--level" option in chkconfig
|
|||
|
(see "man chkconfig") or using your favorite graphical run-level editor.</p>

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
If you use dialup, you may want to start the firewall in your /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
|
|||
|
script. I recommend just placing "shorewall restart" in that script.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
You can manually start and stop Shoreline Firewall using the "shorewall"
|
|||
|
shell program: </p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall start - starts the firewall</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall stop - stops the firewall</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall restart - stops the firewall (if it's running) and
|
|||
|
then starts it again</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall reset - reset the packet and byte counters in the
|
|||
|
firewall</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall clear - remove all rules and chains installed by
|
|||
|
Shoreline Firewall</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall refresh - refresh the rules involving the broadcast addresses
|
|||
|
of firewall interfaces and the black and white lists.</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
The "shorewall" program may also be used to monitor the firewall.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall status - produce a verbose report about the firewall
|
|||
|
(iptables -L -n -v)</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall show <i>chain</i> - produce a verbose report about <i>chain
|
|||
|
</i>(iptables -L <i>chain</i> -n -v)</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall show nat - produce a verbose report about the nat table
|
|||
|
(iptables -t nat -L -n -v)</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall show tos - produce a verbose report about the mangle table
|
|||
|
(iptables -t mangle -L -n -v)</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall show log - display the last 20 packet log entries.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall show connections - displays the IP connections currently being
|
|||
|
tracked by the firewall.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall
|
|||
|
show
|
|||
|
tc
|
|||
|
- displays information about the traffic control/shaping configuration.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall monitor [ delay ] - Continuously display the firewall
|
|||
|
status, last 20 log entries and nat. When the log entry display
|
|||
|
changes, an audible alarm is sounded.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall hits - Produces several reports about the Shorewall packet log
|
|||
|
messages in the current /var/log/messages file.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall version - Displays the installed
|
|||
|
version number.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall check - Performs a <u>cursory</u> validation
|
|||
|
of the zones, interfaces, hosts, rules and policy files.
|
|||
|
<font size="4" color="#FF6666"><b>The "check" command does not parse and
|
|||
|
validate the generated iptables commands so even though the "check" command
|
|||
|
completes successfully, the configuration may fail to start. See the
|
|||
|
recommended way to make configuration changes described below. </b></font>
|
|||
|
</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall try<i> configuration-directory</i> [<i> timeout</i> ] - Restart shorewall using the
|
|||
|
specified configuration and if an error occurs or if the<i> timeout </i>
|
|||
|
option is given and the new configuration has been up for that many seconds
|
|||
|
then shorewall is restarted using the standard configuration.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall deny, shorewall reject, shorewall accept and shorewall save
|
|||
|
implement <a href="blacklisting_support.htm">dynamic blacklisting</a>.</li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall logwatch (added in version 1.3.2) - Monitors the
|
|||
|
<a href="#Conf">LOGFILE </a>and produces an audible alarm when new Shorewall
|
|||
|
messages are logged.</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
The <b>shorewall start</b>, <b>shorewall restart, shorewall check </b> and
|
|||
|
<b>shorewall try </b>commands allow you to specify which <a href="#Configs">
|
|||
|
Shorewall configuration</a>
|
|||
|
to use:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
shorewall [ -c <i>configuration-directory</i> ] {start|restart|check}<br>
|
|||
|
shorewall try <i>configuration-directory</i></p>
|
|||
|
</blockquote>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
If a <i>configuration-directory</i> is specified, each time that Shorewall
|
|||
|
is going to use a file in /etc/shorewall it will first look in the <i>configuration-directory</i>
|
|||
|
. If the file is present in the <i>configuration-directory</i>, that file
|
|||
|
will be used; otherwise, the file in /etc/shorewall will be used.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
When changing the configuration of a production firewall, I recommend the
|
|||
|
following:</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>mkdir /etc/test</li>
|
|||
|
<li>cd /etc/test</li>
|
|||
|
<li><copy any files that you need to change from /etc/shorewall to . and change them here></li>
|
|||
|
<li>shorewall -c . check</li>
|
|||
|
<li><correct any errors found by check and check again></li>
|
|||
|
<li>/sbin/shorewall try .</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
If the configuration starts but doesn't work, just "shorewall restart" to
|
|||
|
restore the old configuration. If the new configuration fails to start, the
|
|||
|
"try" command will automatically start the old one for you.</p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<p>
|
|||
|
When the new configuration works then just </p>
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
<li>cp * /etc/shorewall</li>
|
|||
|
<li>cd</li>
|
|||
|
<li>rm -rf /etc/test</li>
|
|||
|
</ul>
