<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>For readers familiar with iptables, actions are the way in which you
|
||
can create your own filter-table chains.</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>

<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, REJECT, QUEUE and NFQUEUE 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>
|
||
</footnote>.</para>
|
||
</listitem>
|
||
</orderedlist>
|
||
|
||
<para>Shorewall supports default actions for the ACCEPT, REJECT, DROP,
|
||
QUEUE and NFQUEUE policies. These default actions are specified in the
|
||
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> file using the
|
||
ACCEPT_DEFAULT, REJECT_DEFAULT, DROP_DEFAULT, QUEUE_DEFAULT and
|
||
NFQUEUE_DEFAULT options respectively. Policies whose default is set to a
|
||
value of <quote>none</quote> have no default action.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>In addition, the default specified in
|
||
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> may be overridden by
|
||
specifying a different action in the POLICY column of <filename><ulink
|
||
url="manpages/shorewall-policy.html">/etc/shorewall/policy</ulink></filename>.</para>

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

|

|

<para>The SOURCE and DEST columns in the action file may not include

ACTION(REDIRECT,--.info)).</para>

<para>Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.21, you can specify the default

values of your FORMAT-2 actions:</para>

<programlisting>DEFAULTS <replaceable>def1</replaceable>,<replaceable>def2</replaceable>,...</programlisting>
|

<para>where <replaceable>def1</replaceable> is the default value for the

first parameter, <replaceable>def2</replaceable> is the default value
|

for the second parameter and so on. You can specify an empty default
|
||
using '-' (e.g. DEFAULTS DROP,-,audit).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>The DEFAULTS directive also determines the maximum number of

parameters that an action may have. If more parameters are passed than

have default values, an error message is issued. </para>

|

|

<para>Prior to 4.4.16, columns in the

<itemizedlist>
|

<listitem>
|
||
<para>TARGET - Must be ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG, CONTINUE, QUEUE or
|
||
an <<emphasis>action</emphasis>> where
|
||
<<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

url="http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html">http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html</ulink>).</para>
|

|

<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
|

<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/action.Drop</filename> for an example

of an action that users macros extensively.</para>

<para>Alternatively, clients may be specified by interface name. For

|

<para>Shorewall supports a <quote>Limit</quote> built-in action. Prior to
|
||
Shorewall 4.4.16, Limit is invoked with a comma-separated list in place of
|
||
a logging tag. Beginning in Shorewall 4.4.16, it may also be invoked with
|
||
a list of three parameters enclosed in parentheses. The list has three
|
||
elements:</para>
|
||
|
||
<orderedlist>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>The name of a <quote>recent</quote> list. You select the list
|
||
name which must conform to the rules for a valid chain name. Different
|
||
rules that specify the same list name will use the same set of
|
||
counters.</para>
|
||
</listitem>
|
||
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>The number of connections permitted in a specified time
|

period.</para>
|

</listitem>
|
||
|

<listitem>
|

<para>The time period, expressed in seconds.</para>
|

</listitem>
|
||
</orderedlist>
|
||
|
||
<para>Connections that exceed the specified rate are dropped.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For example, to use a recent list name of <emphasis
|
||
role="bold">SSHA</emphasis>, and to limit SSH connections to 3 per minute,
|
||
use this entry in <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>:</para>
|

|
||
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S)
|
||
Limit:none:SSHA,3,60 net $FW tcp 22</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>Using Shorewall 4.4.16 or later, you can also invoke the action this
|
||
way:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S)
|
||
Limit(SSHA,3,60):none net $FW tcp 22</programlisting>
|
||
|
||
<para>If you want dropped connections to be logged at the info level, use
|
||
this rule instead:</para>
|
||
|
||
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S)
|
||
Limit:info:SSHA,3,60 net $FW tcp 22</programlisting>
|
||
|

<para>Shorewall 4.4.16 and later:<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S)
|
||
Limit(SSH,3,60):info net $FW tcp 22</programlisting></para>
|

|
||
<para>To summarize, you pass four pieces of information to the Limit
|
||
action:</para>
|
||
|
||
<itemizedlist>
|
||
<listitem>
|
