<para>The above output is produced when this /etc/shorewall/helpers file

<programlisting>loadmodule nf_conntrack_ftp ports=0

loadmodule nf_conntrack_irc ports=0

loadmodule nf_conntrack_netbios_ns

loadmodule nf_conntrack_sip ports=0

loadmodule nf_conntrack_tftp ports=0
|

loadmodule nf_conntrack_sane ports=0</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>The reason for the double capabilities is that when <emphasis
|
||||
role="bold">ports=0</emphasis> is specified, the iptables name of the
|
||||
helper gets '-0' added to it. So in order for the compiler to generate
|
||||
the correct iptables commands, it needs to know if <emphasis
|
||||
role="bold">ports=0</emphasis> was specified for each of the helprs that
|
||||
support it.</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Notice that most of the other helpers are available, even though
|
||||
their modules were not loaded. That's because auto-loading occurs during
|
||||
capability detection on those modules whose iptables name matches the
|
||||
module name.</para>
