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.
|
|
|
|

You can manually start and stop Shoreline Firewall using the "shorewall"
|
|
|
|
|
|
shell program: </p>

Shorewall configuration</a>
|

to use:</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>
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
