<para>Extension scripts are user-provided scripts that are invoked at

various points during firewall start, restart, stop and clear. The scripts

|
are placed in /etc/shorewall and are processed using the Bourne shell
|
|
<quote>source</quote> mechanism.</para>

<command>run_iptables</command> and if the command fails, the firewall

will be stopped (Shorewall version < 2.0.2 Beta 1 or there is no

<para>With Shorewall 2.0.2 Beta 1 and later versions, if you run
|
|
commands other than <command>iptables</command> that must be re-run in
|
|
order to restore the firewall to its current state then you must save
|
|
the commands to the <firstterm>restore file</firstterm>. The restore
|
|
file is a temporary file in <filename
|
|
class="directory">/var/lib/shorewall</filename> that will be renamed
|
|
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore-base</filename> at the successful
|
|
completion of the Shorewall command. The <command>shorewall
|
|
save</command> command combines
|
|
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore-base</filename> with the output of
|
|
<command>iptables-save</command> to produce the
|
|
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore</filename> script.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Here are three functions that are useful when running commands
|
|
other than <command>iptables</command>:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">save_command() </emphasis>-- saves the
|
|
passed command to the restore file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example: <programlisting>save_command echo Operation Complete</programlisting></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>That command would simply write "echo Operation Complete" to
|
|
the restore file.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">run_and_save_command()</emphasis> --
|
|
saves the passed command to the restore file then executes it. The
|
|
return value is the exit status of the command. Example:
|
|
<programlisting>run_and_save_command "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_all"</programlisting></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that as in this example, when the command involves file
|
|
redirection then the entire command must be enclosed in quotes. This
|
|
applies to all of the functions described here.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><emphasis role="bold">ensure_and_save_command()</emphasis> --
|
|
runs the passed command. If the command fails, the firewall is
|
|
restored to it's prior saved state and the operation is terminated.
|
|
If the command succeeds, the command is written to the restore
|
|
file</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 2.0.0, you can also define a <emphasis>common
|
|
action</emphasis> to be performed immediately before a policy of ACCEPT,
|
|
DROP or REJECT is applied. Separate <ulink
|
|
url="Actions.html">actions</ulink> can be assigned to each policy type so
|
|
for example you can have a different common action for DROP and REJECT
|
|
policies. The most common usage of common actions is to silently drop
|
|
traffic that you don't wish to have logged by the policy.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>As released, Shorewall defines a number of actions which are cataloged
|
|
in the <filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename> file. That file
|
|
is processed before /etc/shorewall/actions. Among the entries in
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename> are:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>Drop:DROP
|
|
Reject:REJECT</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>So the action named <quote>Drop</quote> is performed immediately
|
|
before DROP policies are applied and the action called <quote>Reject</quote>
|
|
is performed before REJECT policies are applied. These actions are defined
|
|
in the files <filename>/usr/share/shorewall/action.Drop</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/action.Reject</filename> respectively.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You can override these defaults with entries in your
|
|
/etc/shorewall/actions file. For example, if that file were to contain
|
|
<quote>MyDrop:DROP</quote> then the common action for DROP policies would
|
|
become <quote>MyDrop</quote>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>One final note. The chain created to perform an action has the same
|
|
name as the action. You can use an extension script by that name to add
|
|
rules to the action's chain in the same way as you can any other chain. So
|
|
if you create the new action <quote>Dagger</quote> and define it in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/action.Dagger</filename>, you can also have an
|
|
extension script named <filename>/etc/shorewall/Dagger</filename> that can
|
|
add rules to the <quote>Dagger</quote> chain that can't be created using
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/action.Dagger</filename>.</para>
