intentional. The released configuration file skeletons may be found on

your system in the directory <filename

|
|
file. For example, to look at the man page for the

shorewall-zones</command> at a shell prompt.</para>

<para>If you are installing a Shorewall version earlier than 3.4.0, then

instructions and default entries.</para>

<para>Shorewall views the network where it is running as being composed of

a set of <emphasis>zones</emphasis>. In the one-interface sample

<para>The firewall has a single network interface. Where Internet

<para>Be sure you know which interface is your external interface. Many

Normally, your <emphasis>Internet Service Provider</emphasis>

|
|
|

<para><emphasis role="bold">RFC-1918</emphasis> reserves several

<para>These addresses are sometimes referred to as

|
will not forward a packet whose destination address is reserved by

<emphasis role="bold">RFC-1918</emphasis>. In some cases though,

<acronym>ISP</acronym>s are assigning these addresses then using

<para>It is important that these commands work properly because when you

|
encounter connection problems when Shorewall is running, the first thing
|
|
that you should do is to look at the Netfilter log; with the help of
|
|
<ulink url="FAQ.htm#faq17">Shorewall FAQ 17</ulink>, you can usually
|
|
resolve the problem quickly.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Most commonly, Netfilter messages are logged to
|
|
<filename>/var/log/messages</filename>. Recent
|
|
<trademark>SuSE/OpenSuSE</trademark> releases come preconfigured with
|
|
syslog-ng and log Netfilter messages to
|
|
<filename>/var/log/firewall</filename>.</para>

|
<para>If you are running a distribution that logs Netfilter messages to a
|
|
log other than <filename>/var/log/messages</filename>, then modify the
|
|
LOGFILE setting in <filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> to

specify the name of your log.</para>
|

|
|
<important>
|
|
<para>The LOGFILE setting does not control where the Netfilter log is

maintained -- it simply tells the /sbin/<filename>shorewall</filename>
|

utility where to find the log.</para>

<para>Shorewall includes a collection of macros that can be used to

quickly allow or deny services. You can find a list of the macros included

in your version of Shorewall using the command <command>ls

<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/macro.*</filename></command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you wish to enable connections from the Internet to your firewall
|
|
and you find an appropriate macro in

<filename>/etc/shorewall/macro.*</filename>, the general format of a rule

<<emphasis>macro</emphasis>>/ACCEPT net $FW</programlisting>
