<title>Description</title>
<para>This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you
want to change the directory used by Shorewall6 Lite to store state
information, including compiled firewall scripts. By default, the
directory used is <filename>/var/lib/shorewall6-lite/</filename>.</para>
<para>The file contains a single variable assignment:</para>
<para><option>VARDIR=</option><replaceable>directory</replaceable></para>
<para>where <replaceable>directory</replaceable> is the name of a
directory. If you add this file, you should copy the files from
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall6-lite</filename> to the new directory before
performing a <command>shorewall6-lite restart</command>.</para>
<note>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.2, use of this file is deprecated in
favor of specifying VARDIR in the <filename>shorewallrc</filename> file
used during installation of Shorewall Core. While the name of the
variable remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different. When set in
shorewallrc, Shorewall6 Lite will create a directory under the specified
path name to hold state information.</para>
<para>Example:</para>
<blockquote>
<para>VARDIR=<filename>/opt/var/lib/</filename></para>
<para>The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be
<filename>/opt/var/lib/shorewall6-lite</filename>.</para>
</blockquote>
<para>When VARDIR is set in
<filename>/etc/shorewall6-lite/vardir</filename>, Shorewall Lite will
save its state in the <replaceable>directory</replaceable>
specified.</para>
