<title>Description</title>
<para>The original intent of the <emphasis role="bold">notrack</emphasis>
file was to exempt certain traffic from Netfilter connection tracking.
Traffic matching entries in the file were not to be tracked.</para>
<para>The role of the file was expanded in Shorewall 4.4.27 to include all
rules that can be added in the Netfilter <emphasis
role="bold">raw</emphasis> table. In 4.5.7, the file's name was changed to
<emphasis role="bold">conntrack</emphasis>.</para>
<para>The file supports two different column layouts: FORMAT 1, FORMAT 2,
and FORMAT 3, FORMAT 1 being the default. The three differ as
follows:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>in FORMAT 2 and 3, there is an additional leading ACTION
column.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>in FORMAT 3, the SOURCE column accepts no zone name; rather the
ACTION column allows a SUFFIX that determines the chain(s) that the
generated rule will be added to.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>When an entry in the following form is encountered, the format of
the following entries are assumed to be of the specified
<replaceable>format</replaceable>.</para>
<simplelist>
<member><emphasis role="bold">[?]FORMAT</emphasis>
<replaceable>format</replaceable></member>
</simplelist>
<para>where <replaceable>format</replaceable> is either <emphasis
role="bold">1</emphasis>,<emphasis role="bold">2</emphasis> or <emphasis
role="bold">3</emphasis>.</para>
<para>Format 3 was introduced in Shorewall 4.5.10. The optional '?' was
introduced in Shorewall 4.5.11 and ?FORMAT is the preferred form; the form
without the '?' is deprecated.</para>
<para>Comments may be attached to Netfilter rules generated from entries
in this file through the use of COMMENT lines. These lines begin with the
word COMMENT; the remainder of the line is treated as a comment which is
attached to subsequent rules until another COMMENT line is found or until
the end of the file is reached. To stop adding comments to rules, use a
line with only the word COMMENT.</para>
<note>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.11, ?COMMENT is a synonym for COMMENT
and is preferred.</para>
</note>
<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>
<variablelist>

<para>Added in Shorewall6 4.5.10 and allows enabling and disabling
