Description
Assign any shell variables that you need in this file. The file is
always processed by /bin/sh so the full range of
shell capabilities may be used.
It is suggested that variable names begin with an upper case letter
to distinguish them from variables used internally within the Shorewall
programs
The following variable names must be avoided. Those in bold font must be avoided in all Shorewall
versions; those in regular font must be avoided in versions prior to
4.4.8.
