<title>Configuring Shorewall</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Once you have installed the Shorewall software, you must configure
|
|
it. The easiest way to do that is to use one of Shorewall's

<firstterm>Sample Configurations</firstterm>. The Universal Configuration
|
|
is one of those samples.</para>

<para>The Universal Shorewall configuration requires that you simply copy

the configuration to <filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename>

<title>How to Start the firewall</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Before starting Shorewall for the first time, it's a good idea to
|
|
stop your existing firewall. On Redhat/CentOS/Fedora, at a root prompt
|
|
type:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<para><command>service iptables stop</command></para>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you are running SuSE, use Yast or Yast2 to stop
|
|
SuSEFirewall.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Once you have Shorewall running to your satisfaction, you should
|
|
totally disable your existing firewall. On /Redhat/CentOS/Fedora:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<para><command>chkconfig --del iptables</command></para>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>At a root prompt, type:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<para><command>/sbin/shorewall start</command></para>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>That's it. Shorewall will automatically start again when you
|
|
reboot.</para>

<para>Shorewall includes a collection of <firstterm>macros</firstterm>

of the macros included in your version of Shorewall using the command

|
<command>ls <filename>/usr/share/shorewall/macro.*</filename></command>
|
|
or at a shell prompt type:</para>

|

<<emphasis>macro</emphasis>>(ACCEPT) net $FW</programlisting>
|

<para>Be sure to add your rules after the line that reads <emphasis

<title>How do I make the firewall log a message when it disallows an

|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall does not maintain a log itself but rather relies on your
|
|
<ulink url="shorewall_logging.html">system's logging
|
|
configuration</ulink>. The following <ulink
|
|
url="manpages/shorewall.html">commands</ulink> rely on knowing where
|
|
Netfilter messages are logged:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><command>shorewall show log</command> (Displays the last 20
|

<para><command>shorewall dump</command> (Produces an extensive
|
|
report for inclusion in Shorewall problem reports)</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<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>The Netfilter log location is distribution-dependent:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Debian and its derivatives log Netfilter messages to

<filename>/var/log/kern.log</filename>.</para>

<listitem>

<para>Recent <trademark>SuSE/OpenSuSE</trademark> releases come

<para>Modify the LOGFILE setting in

|
|
|
|
<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>Now, edit <filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> and modify

the line that reads:</para>
