Configuration Files
modules
shorewall6 file
/usr/share/shorewall6/modules
/usr/share/shorewall6/helpers
Description
These files specify which kernel modules shorewall6 will load before
trying to determine your ip6tables/kernel's capabilities. The
modules file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=No in
shorewall6.conf(5);
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). shorewall6 will search for modules based on your
MODULESDIR and MODULE_SUFFIX settings in shorewall6.conf(5). The
moduleoptions are passed to modprobe (if
installed) or to insmod.
The /usr/share/shorewall6/modules file contains a large number of
modules. Users are encouraged to copy the file to /etc/shorewall6/modules
and modify the copy to load only the modules required or use
LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes.
If you build monolithic kernels and have not installed
module-init-tools, then create an empty /etc/shorewall6/modules file;
that will prevent shorewall6 from trying to load modules at
all.
Example
loadmodule ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,221
