<para>With the shell-based compiler, extension scripts were copied

this approach doesn't work with Shorewall Perl because (almost) the

|
entire rule set is built by the compiler. As a result,
|
|
Shorewall-perl runs some extension scripts at compile-time rather
|
|
than at run-time. Because the compiler is written in Perl, your

|
extension scripts from earlier versions will no longer work.</para>

<para>Here is an example of an actual initdone script used with

run_iptables -t filter -I INPUT -p udp --dport 1701 -m mark --mark 0x50 -j ACCEPT

run_iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT -p udp --sport 1701 -j ACCEPT

<para>Here is the corresponding script used with
|

Shorewall-perl:<programlisting>use Shorewall::Chains;
|
|
|
|
insert_rule $mangle_table->{PREROUTING}, 1, "-p esp -j MARK --set-mark 0x50";
|
|
insert_rule $filter_table->{INPUT}, 1, "-p udp --dport 1701 -m mark --mark 0x50 -j ACCEPT";
|

insert_rule $filter_table->{OUTPUT}, 1, "-p udp --sport 1701 -j ACCEPT";
|
|
|
|
1;</programlisting></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The initdone script is unique because the $chainref variable
|
|
is not set before the script is called. The above script illustrates
|
|
how the $mangle_table, $filter_table, and $nat_table references can
|
|
be used to add or insert rules in arbitrary chains.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/tos</filename> file now has
|
|
zone-independent SOURCE and DEST columns as do all other files
|
|
except the rules and policy files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The SOURCE column may be one of the following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>[<command>all</command>:]<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]</member>
|
|
|

<member><command>$FW</command>[:<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]]</member>

<para>The DEST column may be one of the following:</para>

<simplelist>
|

<member>[<command>all</command>:]<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]</member>
|
|
|
|
<member>[<command>all</command>:]<<replaceable>interface</replaceable>>[:<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]]</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
|
|
<para>This is a permanent change. The old zone-based rules have
|
|
never worked right and this is a good time to replace them. I've
|
|
tried to make the new syntax cover the most common cases without
|
|
requiring change to existing files. In particular, it will handle
|
|
the tos file released with Shorewall 1.4 and earlier.</para>

|
|
<listitem id="SAVE_IPSETS">
|
|
<para>Shorewall-perl insists that ipset names begin with a letter
|
|

a plus sign (+) as with the shell-based compiler.</para>
|
|
|

<para>From Shorewall-perl 4.0.0 - Shorewall 4.4.5, Shorewall was out

<title>Dependence on Perl</title>

<para>Shorewall-perl is dependent on Perl which has a large disk

footprint. This makes Shorewall-perl less desirable in an embedded

Shorewall-perl on an administrative system and employ Shorewall-lite on

your embedded systems. Shorewall-perl will run on Windows under <ulink

<para>To create a <ulink url="ManualChains.html">manual chain</ulink>,

use the new_manual_chain() function. The function accepts a single

<para>A companion function, <emphasis

manual chain of the desired name may have already been created. If a

reference to the chain table entry is returned. Otherwise, the function

calls <emphasis role="bold">new_manual_chain()</emphasis> and returns

the result.</para>
