<title>What are Shorewall Actions?</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Shorewall actions allow a symbolic name to be associated with a
|
||
series of one or more iptables rules. The symbolic name may appear in the
|
||
ACTION column of an <filename><ulink
|
||
url="manpages/shorewall-rules.html">/etc/shorewall/rules</ulink></filename> file
|
||
entry, in which case the traffic matching that rules file entry will be
|
||
passed to the series of iptables rules named by the action.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>Actions can be thought of as templates. When an action is invoked in
|
||
an <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename> entry, it may be qualified by
|
||
a logging specification (log level and optionally a log tag). The presence
|
||
of the log level/tag causes a modified series of rules to be generated in
|
||
which each packet/rule match within the action causes a log message to be
|
||
generated.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>There are three types of Shorewall actions:</para>
|
||
|
||
<orderedlist>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>Built-in Actions. These actions are known by the Shorewall code
|
||
itself. They are listed in the comments at the top of the file
|
||
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename>.</para>
|
||
</listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>Standard Actions. These actions are released as part of
|
||
Shorewall. They are listed in the file
|
||
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename> and are defined
|
||
in the corresponding action.* files in <filename
|
||
class="directory">/usr/share/shorewall</filename>. Each
|
||
<filename>action.*</filename> file has a comment at the beginning of
|
||
the file that describes what the action does. As an example, here is
|
||
the definition of the <firstterm>AllowSMB</firstterm> standard action
|
||
from Shorewall version 2.2.</para>

||
|
||
<programlisting>#

# Shorewall 2.2 /usr/share/shorewall/action.AllowSMB

||
# both directions.

<title>Default Actions (Formerly Common Actions)</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Shorewall allows the association of a <firstterm>default
|
||
action</firstterm> with policies. A separate default action may be
|
||
associated with ACCEPT, DROP and REJECT policies. Default actions provide
|
||
a way to invoke a set of common rules just before the policy is enforced.
|
||
Default actions accomplish two goals:</para>
|
||
|
||
<orderedlist>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>Relieve log congestion. Default actions typically include rules
|
||
to silently drop or reject traffic that would otherwise be logged when
|
||
the policy is enforced.</para>
|
||
</listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>Ensure correct operation. Default actions can also avoid common
|
||
pitfalls like dropping connection requests on port TCP port 113. If
|
||
these connections are dropped (rather than rejected) then you may
|
||
encounter problems connecting to internet services that utilize the
|
||
AUTH protocol of client authentication<footnote>
|
||
<para>AUTH is actually pretty silly on today's internet but it's
|

amazing how many servers still employ it.</para>

<para>Shorewall provides default actions for the REJECT and DROP

policies. The default action for REJECT is named

<section id="Defining">

<title>Defining your own Actions</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Before defining a new action, you should evaluate whether your goal
|
||
can be best accomplished using an action or a
|
||
<firstterm>macro</firstterm>. See <ulink url="Macros.html">this
|
||
article</ulink> for details.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>To define a new action:</para>
|
||
|
||
<orderedlist>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>Add a line to
|
||
<filename><filename>/etc/shorewall/actions</filename></filename> that
|
||
names your new action. Action names must be valid shell variable names
|
||
((must begin with a letter and be composed of letters, digits and
|
||
underscore characters) as well as valid Netfilter chain names. If you
|
||
intend to log from the action, the name must have a maximum of 11
|
||
characters. It is recommended that the name you select for a new
|
||
action begins with a capital letter; that way, the name won't conflict
|
||
with a Shorewall-defined chain name.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The name of the action may be optionally followed by a colon
|
||
(<quote>:</quote>) and ACCEPT, DROP or REJECT. When this is done, the
|
||
named action will become the <emphasis>default action </emphasis>for
|
||
policies of type ACCEPT, DROP or REJECT respectively. The default
|
||
action is applied immediately before the policy is enforced (before
|
||
any logging is done under that policy) and is used mainly to suppress
|
||
logging of uninteresting traffic which would otherwise clog your logs.
|
||
The same policy name can appear in multiple actions; the last such
|
||
action for each policy name is the one which Shorewall will
|
||
use.</para>
|

<para>Shorewall includes pre-defined actions for DROP and REJECT --

see above.</para>
|

</listitem>
|

|

<listitem>
|

<para>Once you have defined your new action name (ActionName), then

copy /usr/share/shorewall/action.template to

<filename>/etc/shorewall/action.ActionName</filename> (for example, if

<para>TARGET - Must be ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG, CONTINUE, QUEUE or

<<emphasis>action</emphasis>> is a previously-defined action
|
||
(that is, it must precede the action being defined in this file in
|
||
your <filename>/etc/shorewall/actions</filename> file). These actions
|
||
have the same meaning as they do in the
|
||
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename> file (CONTINUE terminates
|
||
processing of the current action and returns to the point where that
|
||
action was invoked). The TARGET may optionally be followed by a colon
|
||
(<quote>:</quote>) and a syslog log level (e.g, REJECT:info or
|
||
ACCEPT:debugging). This causes the packet to be logged at the
|
||
specified level. You may also specify ULOG (must be in upper case) as
|
||
a log level. This will log to the ULOG target for routing to a
|
||
separate log through use of ulogd (<ulink

|

<para>You may also use a <ulink url="Macros.html">macro</ulink> in

your action provided that the macro's expansion only results in the

ACTIONs ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG, CONTINUE, or QUEUE. See
