a non-root user with ssh access to a remote system to compile a
firewall script on the local system and to install that script on
the remote system.
Syntax is:
shorewall [re]load [ <directory> ] <system>
If <directory> is omitted, the current working directory is
assumed.
The command is equivalent to:
/sbin/shorewall compile -e . firewall &&\
scp firewall root@<system>:/var/lib/shorewall-lite/ &&\
ssh root@<system> '/sbin/shorewall-lite [re]start' # Note 1
In other words, the configuration in the specified (or defaulted)
directory is compiled to a file called firewall in that
directory. If compilation succeeds, then 'firewall' is copied to the
(usually remote) <system> using scp. If the copy succeeds,
Shorewall Lite on <system> is started or restarted via ssh (
load causes Shorewall Lite to be started and 'reload' causes
Shorewall Lite to be re-started)
Note 1: In Shorewall Lite 3.2.0 RC4, the 'firewall' script has moved
from /usr/share/shorewall-lite/ to /var/lib/shorewall-lite in
packages from shorewall.net. The package maintainers for the
various distributions are free to choose the directory where the
script will be stored under their distribution by altering the
value of LITEDIR in /usr/share/shorewall/configpath. You can run the
"shorewall show config" command to see how your distribution
defines LITEDIR.
