    <para>This file is deprecated in favor of the <ulink
    url="shorewall-stoppedrules.html">shorewall6-stoppedrules</ulink>(5)
    file.</para>

    <para>This file is used to define the hosts that are accessible when the
    firewall is stopped or is being stopped. When shorewall6-shell is being
    used, the file also determines those hosts that are accessible when the
    firewall is in the process of being [re]started.</para>

    <para>The columns in the file are as follows (where the column name is
    followed by a different name in parentheses, the different name is used in
    the alternate specification syntax).</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>An optional comma-separated list of options. The order of the
          options is not important but the list can contain no embedded
          whitespace. The currently-supported options are:</para>

          <variablelist>
            <varlistentry>
              <term><emphasis role="bold">routeback</emphasis></term>

              <listitem>
                <para>Set up a rule to ACCEPT traffic from these hosts back to
                themselves. Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.9, this option is
                automatically set if <emphasis
                role="bold">routeback</emphasis> is specified in <ulink
                url="shorewall6-interfaces.html">shorewall6-interfaces</ulink>
                (5) or if the rules compiler detects that the interface is a
                bridge.</para>

              <listitem>
                <para>Allow traffic from these hosts to ANY destination.
                Without this option or the <emphasis
                role="bold">dest</emphasis> option, only traffic from this
                host to other listed hosts (and the firewall) is allowed. If
                <emphasis role="bold">source</emphasis> is specified then
                <emphasis role="bold">routeback</emphasis> is
                redundant.</para>
              </listitem>
            </varlistentry>

            <varlistentry>

              <listitem>
                <para>Allow traffic to these hosts from ANY source. Without
                this option or the <emphasis role="bold">source</emphasis>
                option, only traffic from this host to other listed hosts (and
                the firewall) is allowed. If <emphasis
                role="bold">dest</emphasis> is specified then <emphasis
                role="bold">routeback</emphasis> is redundant.</para>

            <varlistentry>
              <term><emphasis role="bold">critical</emphasis></term>

              <listitem>
                <para>Allow traffic between the firewall and these hosts
                throughout '[re]start', 'stop' and 'clear'. Specifying
                <emphasis role="bold">critical</emphasis> on one or more
                entries will cause your firewall to be "totally open" for a
                brief window during each of those operations. Examples of
                where you might want to use this are:</para>

    <note>
      <para>The <emphasis role="bold">source</emphasis> and <emphasis
