shorewall-modules 5 modules Shorewall file /usr/share/shorewall/modules /usr/share/shorewall/helpers Description These files specify which kernel modules Shorewall will load before trying to determine your iptables/kernel's capabilities. The modules file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=No in shorewall.conf(8); the helpers file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes Each record in the files has the following format: loadmodule modulename moduleoption The modulename names a kernel module (without suffix). Shorewall will search for modules based on your MODULESDIR and MODULE_SUFFIX settings in shorewall.conf(8). The moduleoptions are passed to modprobe (if installed) or to insmod. The /usr/share/shorewall/modules file contains a large number of modules. Users are encouraged to copy the file to /etc/shorewall/modules and modify the copy to load only the modules required or to use LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes. If you build monolithic kernels and have not installed module-init-tools, then create an empty /etc/shorewall/modules file; that will prevent Shorewall from trying to load modules at all.
