Shorewall Accounting file
/etc/shorewall/accounting
Description
Accounting rules exist simply to count packets and bytes in
categories that you define in this file. You may display these rules and
their packet and byte counters using the shorewall show
accounting command.
The columns in the file are as follows.
ACTION - {COUNT|DONE|chain[:COUNT]}
What to do when a matching packet is found.
COUNT
Simply count the match and continue with the next
rule
DONE
Count the match and don't attempt to match any other
accounting rules in the chain specified in the CHAIN column.
chain[:COUNT]
Where chain is the name of a chain;
Shorewall will create the chain automatically if it doesn't
already exist. Causes a jump to that chain to be added to the
chain specified in the CHAIN column. If :COUNT is included, a counting rule
matching this entry will be added to
chain
COMMENT
The remainder of the line is treated as a comment which
is attached to subsequent rules until another COMMENT line is
found or until the end of the file is reached. To stop adding
comments to rules, use a line with only the word
COMMENT.
CHAIN - {-|chain}
The name of a chain. If specified as
- the accounting chain is assumed. This is the
chain where the accounting rule is added. The
chain will be created if it doesn't already
exist.
SOURCE - {-|any|all|interface|interface:address|address}
Packet Source.
The name of an interface, an
address (host or net) or an
interface name followed by ":" and a host
or net address.
DESTINATION - {-|any|all|interface|interface:address|address}
Packet Destination.
Format same as SOURCE
column.
PROTOCOL - {-|any|all|protocol-name|protocol-number|ipp2p[:{udp|all}]}
A protocol-name (from protocols(5)), a
protocol-number, ipp2p, ipp2p:udp or ipp2p:all
DEST PORT(S) - {-|any|all|ipp2p-option|port-name-or-number[,port-name-or-number]...}
Destination Port number. Service name from services(5) or
port number. May only be specified if the
protocol is tcp or udp (6 or 17).
You may place a comma-separated list of port names or numbers
in this column if your kernel and iptables include multiport match
support.
If the PROTOCOL is ipp2p then
this column must contain an ipp2p-option
("iptables -m ipp2p --help") without the leading "--". If no option
is given in this column, ipp2p is
assumed.
SOURCE PORT(S) - {-|any|all|port-name-or-number[,port-name-or-number]...}
Service name from services(5) or port
number. May only be specified if the protocol is TCP or
UDP (6 or 17).
You may place a comma-separated list of port numbers in this
column if your kernel and iptables include multiport match
support.
USER/GROUP - [!][user-name-or-number][:group-name-or-number][+program-name]
This column may only be non-empty if the CHAIN is OUTPUT.
When this column is non-empty, the rule applies only if the
program generating the output is running under the effective
user and/or group
specified (or is NOT running under that id if "!" is given).
Examples:
joe
program must be run by joe
:kids
program must be run by a member of the 'kids'
group
!:kids
program must not be run by a member of the 'kids'
group
+upnpd
#program named upnpd
The ability to specify a program name was removed from
Netfilter in kernel version 2.6.14.
MARK - [!]value[/mask][:C]
Defines a test on the existing packet or connection mark. The
rule will match only if the test returns true.
If you don't want to define a test but need to specify
anything in the following columns, place a "-" in this field.
!
Inverts the test (not equal)
value
Value of the packet or connection mark.
mask
A mask to be applied to the mark before testing.
:C
Designates a connection mark. If omitted, the packet
mark's value is tested. This option is only supported by
Shorewall-perl.
In all of the above columns except ACTION and CHAIN,
the values -, any and all may be
used as wildcards. Omitted trailing columns are also treated as
wildcards.
