<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 that 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 and FORMAT
2, FORMAT 1 being the default. The two differ in that FORMAT 2 has an
additional leading ACTION column. When an entry in the file of this form
is encountered, the format of the following entries are assumed to be of
the specified <replaceable>format</replaceable>.</para>
<simplelist>
<member>FORMAT <replaceable>format</replaceable></member>
</simplelist>
<para>where <replaceable>format</replaceable> is either <emphasis
role="bold">1</emphasis> or <emphasis role="bold">2</emphasis>.</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>
<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>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ACTION</emphasis> - {<emphasis
role="bold">NOTRACK</emphasis>|<emphasis

role="bold">CT:notrack</emphasis>}</term>

<para><option>helper</option>:<replaceable>name</replaceable></para>
<para>Attach the helper identified by the

pairs in parentheses:</para>

<listitem>
<para><option>ctevents</option>=<replaceable>event</replaceable>[,...]</para>
<para>Only generate the specified conntrack events for this
connection. Possible event types are: <emphasis

role="bold">assured</emphasis>, <emphasis
role="bold">protoinfo</emphasis>, <emphasis
role="bold">helper</emphasis>, <emphasis
role="bold">mark</emphasis> (this is connection mark, not
packet mark), <emphasis role="bold">natseqinfo</emphasis>,
and <emphasis role="bold">secmark</emphasis>. If more than
one <emphasis>event</emphasis> is listed, the
<replaceable>event</replaceable> list must be enclosed in
parentheses (e.g., ctevents=(new,related)).</para>
