<para>short name for the zone. The name should be 5 characters or
less in length (4 characters or less if you are running Shorewall
1.4.4 or later) and consist of lower-case letters or numbers. Short
names must begin with a letter and the name assigned to the firewall

<title>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</title>
<para>This file is used to tell the firewall which of your firewall's
network interfaces are connected to which zone. There will be one entry in
/etc/shorewall/interfaces for each of your interfaces. Columns in an entry
are:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>ZONE</term>
<listitem>
<para>A zone defined in the <xref linkend="Zones" /> file or

interface.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>

<para>the broadcast address(es) for the sub-network(s) attached to
the interface. This should be left empty for P-T-P interfaces (ppp*,
ippp*); if you need to specify options for such an interface, enter
<quote>-</quote> in this column. If you supply the special value
<quote>detect</quote> in this column, the firewall will
automatically determine the broadcast address. In order to use
<quote>detect</quote>:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>the interface must be up before you start your

</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>OPTIONS</term>
<listitem>
<para>a comma-separated list of options. Possible options
include:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>arp_filter</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in version 1.4.7) - This option causes
<filename>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/&lt;interface&gt;/arp_filter</filename>
to be set with the result that this interface will only answer
ARP <quote>who-has</quote> requests from hosts that are routed
out of that interface. Setting this option facilitates testing
of your firewall where multiple firewall interfaces are
connected to the same HUB/Switch (all interface connected to
the single HUB/Switch should have this option specified). Note
that using such a configuration in a production environment is
strongly recommended against.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>newnotsyn</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in version 1.4.6) - This option overrides <link
linkend="Conf">NEWNOTSYN=No</link> for packets arriving on
this interface. In other words, packets coming in on this
interface are processed as if NEWNOTSYN=Yes had been specified
in <xref linkend="Conf" />.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>routeback</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in version 1.4.2) - This option causes Shorewall
to set up handling for routing packets that arrive on this
interface back out the same interface. If this option is
specified, the ZONE column may not contain
<quote>-</quote>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>tcpflags</term>
<listitem>
<para>(added in version 1.3.11) - This option causes Shorewall
to make sanity checks on the header flags in TCP packets
arriving on this interface. Checks include Null flags,
SYN+FIN, SYN+RST and FIN+URG+PSH; these flag combinations are
typically used for <quote>silent</quote> port scans. Packets
failing these checks are logged according to the
TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL option in <xref linkend="Conf" /> and are
disposed of according to the TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION
option.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>blacklist</term>
<listitem>
<para>This option causes incoming packets on this interface to
be checked against the <link
linkend="Blacklist">blacklist</link>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>dhcp</term>
<listitem>
<para>The interface is assigned an IP address via DHCP or is
used by a DHCP server running on the firewall. The firewall
will be configured to allow DHCP traffic to and from the
interface even when the firewall is stopped. You may also wish
to use this option if you have a static IP but you are on a
LAN segment that has a lot of Laptops that use DHCP and you
select the <emphasis role="bold">norfc1918</emphasis> option
(see below).</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>norfc1918</term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets arriving on this interface and that have a
source or destination address that is reserved in RFC 1918
will be dropped after being optionally logged.</para>
<para>Prior to Shorewall 2.0.1, addresses blocked by the
standard <link linkend="rfc1918">rfc1918 file</link> include
those addresses reserved by RFC1918 plus other ranges reserved
by the IANA or by other RFCs. Beginning with Shorewall 2.0.1,
these additional addresses are covered by the <emphasis
role="bold">nobogons</emphasis> option below.</para>
<para>Beware that as IPv4 addresses become in increasingly
short supply, ISPs are beginning to use RFC 1918 addresses
within their own infrastructure. Also, many cable and DSL
<quote>modems</quote> have an RFC 1918 address that can be
used through a web browser for management and monitoring
functions. If you want to specify <emphasis
role="bold">norfc1918</emphasis> on your external interface
but need to allow access to certain addresses from the above
list, see <ulink url="FAQ.htm#faq14">FAQ 14</ulink>.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>nobogons (Added in Shorewall 2.0.1)</term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets arriving on this interface that have a source
address reserved by the IANA or by other RFCs (other than
1918) are dropped after being optionally logged. See the
/etc/shorewall/bogons file documentation below.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>routefilter</term>
<listitem>
<para>Invoke the Kernel's route filtering (anti-spoofing)
facility on this interface. The kernel will reject any packets
incoming on this interface that have a source address that
would be routed outbound through another interface on the
firewall.</para>
<warning>
<para>If you specify this option for an interface then the
interface must be up prior to starting the firewall.</para>
</warning>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>proxyarp</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in version 1.3.5) - This option causes Shorewall
to set
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/&lt;<emphasis>interface</emphasis>&gt;/proxy_arp
and is used when implementing Proxy ARP Sub-netting as
described at <ulink
url="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/">http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/</ulink>.
Do <emphasis role="bold">not</emphasis> set this option if you
are implementing Proxy ARP through entries in <xref
linkend="ProxyArp" />.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>maclist</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in version 1.3.10) - If this option is specified,
all connection requests from this interface are subject to
<ulink url="MAC_Validation.html">MAC Verification</ulink>. May
only be specified for ethernet interfaces.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>detectnets</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in version 1.4.10) - If this option is specified,
the zone named in the ZONE column will contain only the hosts
routed through the interface named in the INTERFACE column.
<emphasis role="bold">Do not set this option on your external
(Internet) interface!</emphasis> The interface must be in the
UP state when Shorewall is [re]started.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>nosmurfs</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in version 2.0.0) - If this option is specified,
incoming connection requests will be checked to ensure that
they do not have a broadcast or multicast address as their
source. Any such packets will be dropped after being
optionally logged according to the setting of SMURF_LOG_LEVEL
in <link
linkend="Conf">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</link>.</para>

<section id="Nested">
<title>Nested and Overlapping Zones</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> and
<filename>/etc/shorewall/hosts</filename> file allow you to define
nested or overlapping zones. Such overlapping/nested zones are allowed
and Shorewall processes zones in the order that they appear in the
<filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename> file. So if you have nested
zones, you want the sub-zone to appear before the super-zone and in the
case of overlapping zones, the rules that will apply to hosts that
belong to both zones is determined by which zone appears first in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename>.</para>
<para>Hosts that belong to more than one zone may be managed by the
rules of all of those zones. This is done through use of the special
<link linkend="CONTINUE">CONTINUE policy</link> described below.</para>

<section>
<title>Intra-Zone Traffic</title>
<para>Shorewall allows a zone to be associated with more than one
interface or with multiple networks that interface through a single
interface. Beginning with Shorewall 1.4.1, Shorewall will ACCEPT all
traffic from a zone to itself provided that there is no explicit policy
governing traffic from that zone to itself (an explicit policy does not
specify <quote>all</quote> in either the SOURCE or DEST column) and that
there are no rules concerning connections from that zone to itself. If
there is an explicit policy or if there are one or more rules, then
traffic within the zone is handled just like traffic between zones
is.</para>
<para>Any time that you have multiple interfaces associated with a
single zone, you should ask yourself if you really want traffic routed
between those interfaces. Cases where you might not want that behavior
are:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Multiple <quote>net</quote> interfaces to different ISPs. You
don't want to route traffic from one ISP to the other through your
firewall.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Multiple VPN clients. You don't necessarily want them to all
be able to communicate between themselves using your
gateway/router.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 2.0.0, you can control the traffic from
the firewall to itself. As with any zone, fw-&gt;fw traffic is enabled
by default. It is not necessary to define the loopback interface (lo) in
<link linkend="Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</link> in order to
define fw-&gt;fw rules or a fw-&gt;fw policy.</para>
<caution>
<para>So long as there are no intra-zone rules for a zone, all
intra-zone traffic for that zone is accepted. As soon as you add a
single rule from the zone to itself, then ALL traffic from that zone
to itself is controlled by the rules and the first policy in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename> that matches the zone to
itself.</para>
</caution>
</section>
<section id="CONTINUE">
<title>The CONTINUE policy</title>
<para>Where zones are <link linkend="Nested">nested or
overlapping</link>, the CONTINUE policy allows hosts that are within
multiple zones to be managed under the rules of all of these zones.
Let's look at an example:</para>
<para><filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#ZONE DISPLAY COMMENTS
sam Sam Sam's system at home
net Internet The Internet
loc Local Local Network</programlisting>

<programlisting>#ZONE HOST(S) OPTIONS
net eth0:0.0.0.0/0
sam eth0:206.191.149.197</programlisting>
<note>
<para>Sam's home system is a member of both the <emphasis
role="bold">sam</emphasis> zone and the <emphasis
role="bold">net</emphasis> zone and <link linkend="Nested">as
described above</link> , that means that <emphasis
role="bold">sam</emphasis> must be listed before <emphasis
role="bold">net</emphasis> in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/zones</filename>.</para>
</note>
<para><filename>/etc/shorewall/policy</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG LEVEL
loc net ACCEPT
sam all CONTINUE
net all DROP info
all all REJECT info</programlisting>
<para>The second entry above says that when Sam is the client,
connection requests should first be process under rules where the source
zone is <emphasis role="bold">sam</emphasis> and if there is no match
then the connection request should be treated under rules where the
source zone is <emphasis role="bold">net</emphasis>. It is important
that this policy be listed BEFORE the next policy (<emphasis
role="bold">net</emphasis> to <emphasis
role="bold">all</emphasis>).</para>
<para>Partial <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S)
...
DNAT sam loc:192.168.1.3 tcp ssh
DNAT net loc:192.168.1.5 tcp www
...</programlisting>
<para>Given these two rules, Sam can connect to the firewall's internet
interface with ssh and the connection request will be forwarded to
192.168.1.3. Like all hosts in the <emphasis role="bold">net</emphasis>
zone, Sam can connect to the firewall's internet interface on TCP port
80 and the connection request will be forwarded to 192.168.1.5. The
order of the rules is not significant.</para>
<para id="Exclude">Sometimes it is necessary to suppress port forwarding
for a sub-zone. For example, suppose that all hosts can SSH to the
firewall and be forwarded to 192.168.1.5 EXCEPT Sam. When Sam connects
to the firewall's external IP, he should be connected to the firewall
itself. Because of the way that Netfilter is constructed, this requires
two rules as follows:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST PORT(S)
...
DNAT sam fw tcp ssh
DNAT net loc:192.168.1.3 tcp ssh
...</programlisting>
<para>The first rule allows Sam SSH access to the firewall. The second
rule says that any clients from the net zone with the exception of those
in the <quote>sam</quote> zone should have their connection port
forwarded to 192.168.1.3. If you need to exclude more than one zone in
this way, you can list the zones separated by commas (e.g.,
net!sam,joe,fred). This technique also may be used when the ACTION is
REDIRECT.</para>

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>The ACTION may optionally be followed by <quote>:</quote> and
a <ulink url="shorewall_logging.html">syslog level</ulink> (example:
REJECT:info or ACCEPT:debug). This causes the packet to be logged at
the specified level prior to being processed according to the
specified ACTION. Note: if the ACTION is LOG then you MUST specify a
syslog level. Beginning with Shorewall version 2.0.2 Beta 1, a
<firstterm>log tag</firstterm> may be specified. A log tag is a
string of alphanumeric characters and is specified by following the
log level with ":" and the log tag. Example:<programlisting>ACCEPT:info:ftp net dmz tcp 21
</programlisting>The log tag is appended to the log prefix generated by the
LOGPREFIX variable in <filename><link
linkend="Conf">/etc/shorewall/conf</link></filename>. If
"ACCEPT:info" generates the log prefix "Shorewall:net2dmz:ACCEPT:"
then "ACCEPT:info:ftp" will generate "Shorewall:net2dmz:ACCEPT:ftp "
(note the trailing blank). The maximum length of a log prefix
supported by iptables is 29 characters; if a larger prefix is
generated, Shorewall will issue a warning message and will truncate
the prefix to 29 characters.</para>
<para>Specifying a log level for a &lt;<emphasis>defined
action</emphasis>&gt; will log all invocations of the action. For
example:</para>
<programlisting>AllowFTP:info net dmz</programlisting>
<para>will log all net-&gt;dmz traffic that has not been handled by
earlier rules. That's probably not what you want. If you want to log
the FTP connections that are actually accepted, you need to log
within the action itself. One way to do that would be to copy
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/action.AllowFTP</filename> to
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> and modify the
copy as follows:</para>
<programlisting>#TARGET SOURCE DEST PROTO DEST SOURCE RATE USER/

ACCEPT<emphasis role="bold">:info</emphasis> - - tcp 21
#LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES BEFORE THIS ONE -- DO NOT REMOVE</programlisting>

<term>ORIGINAL DEST</term>
<listitem>
<para>This column may only be non-empty if the ACTION is DNAT or
REDIRECT.</para>
<para>If DNAT or REDIRECT is the ACTION and the ORIGINAL DEST column
is left empty, any connection request arriving at the firewall from
the SOURCE that matches the rule will be forwarded or redirected.
This works fine for connection requests arriving from the internet
where the firewall has only a single external IP address. When the
firewall has multiple external IP addresses or when the SOURCE is
other than the internet, there will usually be a desire for the rule
to only apply to those connection requests directed to particular IP
addresses (see Example 2 below for another usage). Those IP
addresses are specified in the ORIGINAL DEST column as a
comma-separated list.</para>
<para>If this list begins with <quote>!</quote> then the rule will
only apply if the original destination address matches none of the
addresses listed.</para>
<para>The IP address(es) may be optionally followed by
<quote>:</quote> and a second IP address. This latter address, if
present, is used as the source address for packets forwarded to the
server (This is called <quote>Source NAT</quote> or SNAT.</para>
<warning>
<para>Specifying SNAT in a DNAT rule is deprecated and this
feature will be removed from Shorewall in version 2.1.0. An entry
in <link linkend="Masq">/etc/shorewall/masq</link> can serve the
same purpose and is the preferred method of performing SNAT with
Shorewall. See <ulink url="FAQ.htm#faq2">FAQ 2</ulink> for an
example.</para>
</warning>
<note>
<para>When using SNAT, it is a good idea to qualify the source
with an IP address or subnet. Otherwise, it is likely that SNAT
will occur on connections other than those described in the rule.
The reason for this is that SNAT occurs in the Netfilter
POSTROUTING hook where it is not possible to restrict the scope of
a rule by incoming interface.</para>

regardless of how many packets reach it. Also, every 500ms which

regained; if no packets hit the rule for 2 second, the burst will
be fully recharged; back where we started.</para>

<term>INTERFACE</term>

<para>The interface that will masquerade the subnet; this is

optionally qualified by adding <quote>:</quote> and a subnet or host
IP. When this qualification is added, only packets addressed to that
host or subnet will be masqueraded. Beginning with Shorewall version
1.4.10, the interface name can be qualified with ":" followed by a
comma separated list of hosts and/or subnets. If this list begins
with <quote>!</quote> (e.g.,
<quote>eth0:!192.0.2.8/29,192.0.2.32/29</quote>) then only packets
addressed to destinations <emphasis role="bold">not</emphasis>

that label in this column. See example 5 below. Alias labels created
in this way allow the alias to be visible to the ipconfig utility.

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SUBNET</term>
<listitem>
<para>The subnet that you want to have masqueraded through the
INTERFACE. This may be expressed as a single IP address, a subnet or
an interface name. In the latter instance, the interface must be
configured and started before Shorewall is started as Shorewall will
determine the subnet based on information obtained from the
<quote>ip</quote> utility.</para>
<caution>
<para>When using Shorewall 1.3.13 or earlier, when an interface
name is specified, Shorewall will only masquerade traffic from the
first subnetwork on the named interface; if the interface
interfaces to more that one subnetwork, you will need to add
additional entries to this file for each of those other
subnetworks. Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14, shorewall will
masquerade/SNAT traffic from any host that is routed through the
named interface.</para>

<para>The source address to be used for outgoing packets. This
column is optional and if left blank, the current primary IP address
of the interface in the first column is used. If you have a static
IP on that interface, listing it here makes processing of output
packets a little less expensive for the firewall. If you specify an
address in this column, it must be an IP address configured on the
INTERFACE or you must have ADD_SNAT_ALIASES enabled in <xref
linkend="Conf" />. Beginning with Shorewall version 1.4.6, you may
include a range of IP addresses in this column to indicate that
Netfilter should use the addresses in the range in round-robin
fashion. Beginning with Shorewall version 1.4.7, you may include a
list of ranges and/or addresses in this column; again, Netfilter
will use all listed ranges/addresses in rounde-robin fashion.</para>

<warning>
<para>Do not use Proxy ARP and FreeS/Wan on the same system unless you
are prepared to suffer the consequences. If you start or restart
Shorewall with an IPSEC tunnel active, the proxied IP addresses are
mistakenly assigned to the IPSEC tunnel device (ipsecX) rather than to
the interface that you specify in the INTERFACE column of
<filename>/etc/shorewall/proxyarp</filename>. I haven't had the time to
debug this problem so I can't say if it is a bug in the Kernel or in
FreeS/Wan.</para>

<term>LOGFORMAT</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added at version 1.4.4) - The value of this variable generate
the --log-prefix setting for Shorewall logging rules. It contains a
<quote>printf</quote> formatting template which accepts three
arguments (the chain name, logging rule number (optional) and the
disposition). To use LOGFORMAT with <ulink

formatted in that position; if that substring is not included then
the rule number is not included. If not supplied or supplied as
empty (LOGFORMAT="") then <quote>Shorewall:%s:%s:</quote> is
assumed.</para>
<caution>
<para><command>/sbin/shorewall</command> uses the leading part of

<term>CLEAR_TC</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added at version 1.3.13) - If this option is set to
<quote>No</quote> then Shorewall won't clear the current traffic
control rules during [re]start. This setting is intended for use by
people that prefer to configure traffic shaping when the network
interfaces come up rather than when the firewall is started. If that
is what you want to do, set TC_ENABLED=Yes and CLEAR_TC=No and do
not supply an <filename>/etc/shorewall/tcstart</filename> file. That
way, your traffic shaping rules can still use the
<quote>fwmark</quote> classifier based on packet marking defined in
/etc/shorewall/tcrules. If not specified, CLEAR_TC=Yes is
assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added at version 1.3.12) - If your kernel has a FORWARD chain
in the mangle table, you may set MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=Yes to cause
the marking specified in the <ulink
url="traffic_shaping.htm#tcrules">tcrules file</ulink> to occur in
that chain rather than in the PREROUTING chain. This permits you to
mark inbound traffic based on its destination address when SNAT or
Masquerading are in use. To determine if your kernel has a FORWARD
chain in the mangle table, use the <quote><command>/sbin/shorewall
show mangle</command></quote> command; if a FORWARD chain is
displayed then your kernel will support this option. If this option
is not specified or if it is given the empty value (e.g.,
MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN="") then MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=No is
assumed.</para>

assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.11) - Determines the <ulink

TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL="").</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>MACLIST_DISPOSITION</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.10) - Determines the disposition of
connections requests that fail <ulink url="MAC_Validation.html">MAC
Verification</ulink> and must have the value ACCEPT (accept the
connection request anyway), REJECT (reject the connection request)
or DROP (ignore the connection request). If not set or if set to the

MACLIST_DISPOSITION=REJECT is assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>MACLIST_LOG_LEVEL</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.10) - Determines the <ulink

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>NEWNOTSYN</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.8) - When set to <quote>Yes</quote> or
<quote>yes</quote>, Shorewall will filter TCP packets that are not
part of an established connention and that are not SYN packets (SYN
flag on - ACK flag off). If set to <quote>No</quote>, Shorewall will
silently drop such packets. If not set or set to the empty value
(e.g., <quote>NEWNOTSYN=</quote>), NEWNOTSYN=No is assumed.</para>
<para>If you have a HA setup with failover to another firewall, you
should have NEWNOTSYN=Yes on both firewalls. You should also select
NEWNOTSYN=Yes if you have asymmetric routing.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>LOGNEWNOTSYN</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.6) - Beginning with version 1.3.6,
Shorewall drops non-SYN TCP packets that are not part of an existing
connection. If you would like to log these packets, set LOGNEWNOTSYN
to the <ulink url="shorewall_logging.html">syslog level</ulink> at
which you want the packets logged. Example:
LOGNEWNOTSYN=ULOG|</para>
<note>
<para>Packets logged under this option are usually the result of
broken remote IP stacks rather than the result of any sort of
attempt to breach your firewall.</para>
</note>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>DETECT_DNAT_ADDRS</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.4) - If set to <quote>Yes</quote> or
<quote>yes</quote>, Shorewall will detect the first IP address of
the interface to the source zone and will include this address in
DNAT rules as the original destination IP address. If set to
<quote>No</quote> or <quote>no</quote>, Shorewall will not detect
this address and any destination IP address will match the DNAT
rule. If not specified or empty,
<quote>DETECT_DNAT_ADDRS=Yes</quote> is assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>NAT_BEFORE_RULES</term>
<listitem>
<para>If set to <quote>No</quote> or <quote>no</quote>, port
forwarding rules can override the contents of the <xref
linkend="NAT" /> file. If set to <quote>Yes</quote> or
<quote>yes</quote>, port forwarding rules cannot override one-to-one
NAT. If not set or set to an empty value, <quote>Yes</quote> is
assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>FW</term>
<listitem>
<para>This parameter specifies the name of the firewall zone. If not
set or if set to an empty string, the value <quote>fw</quote> is
assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SUBSYSLOCK</term>
<listitem>
<para>This parameter should be set to the name of a file that the
firewall should create if it starts successfully and remove when it
stops. Creating and removing this file allows Shorewall to work with
your distribution's initscripts. For RedHat, this should be set to
/var/lock/subsys/shorewall. For Debian, the value is
/var/state/shorewall and in LEAF it is /var/run/shorwall. Example:
SUBSYSLOCK=/var/lock/subsys/shorewall.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>STATEDIR</term>
<listitem>
<para>This parameter specifies the name of a directory where
Shorewall stores state information. If the directory doesn't exist
when Shorewall starts, it will create the directory. Example:
STATEDIR=/tmp/shorewall.</para>
<note>
<para>If you change the STATEDIR variable while the firewall is
running, create the new directory if necessary then copy the
contents of the old directory to the new directory.</para>
</note>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>MODULESDIR</term>
<listitem>
<para>This parameter specifies the directory where your kernel
netfilter modules may be found. If you leave the variable empty,
Shorewall will supply the value "/lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>LOGRATE and LOGBURST</term>
<listitem>
<para>These parameters set the match rate and initial burst size for
logged packets. Please see the iptables man page for a description
of the behavior of these parameters (the iptables option --limit is
set by LOGRATE and --limit-burst is set by LOGBURST). If both
parameters are set empty, no rate-limiting will occur.</para>
<example>
<title></title>
<programlisting>LOGRATE=10/minute
LOGBURST=5</programlisting>
<para>For each logging rule, the first time the rule is reached,
the packet will be logged; in fact, since the burst is 5, the
first five packets will be logged. After this, it will be 6
seconds (1 minute divided by the rate of 10) before a message will
be logged from the rule, regardless of how many packets reach it.
Also, every 6 seconds which passes without matching a packet, one
of the bursts will be regained; if no packets hit the rule for 30
seconds, the burst will be fully recharged; back where we
started.</para>
</example>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>LOGFILE</term>
<listitem>
<para>This parameter tells the /sbin/shorewall program where to look
for Shorewall messages when processing the <quote>show log</quote>,
<quote>monitor</quote>, <quote>status</quote> and

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>BLACKLIST_DISPOSITION</term>
<listitem>
<para>This parameter determines the disposition of packets from
blacklisted hosts. It may have the value DROP if the packets are to
be dropped or REJECT if the packets are to be replied with an ICMP
port unreachable reply or a TCP RST (tcp only). If you do not assign

<para>The file <filename>/etc/shorewall/modules</filename> contains
commands for loading the kernel modules required by Shorewall-defined
firewall rules. Shorewall will source this file during start/restart
provided that it exists and that the directory specified by the MODULESDIR
parameter exists (see <xref linkend="Conf" /> above).</para>
<para>The file that is released with Shorewall calls the Shorewall
function <quote>loadmodule</quote> for the set of modules that I
load.</para>
<para>The <emphasis>loadmodule</emphasis> function is called as
follows:</para>
<programlisting>loadmodule &lt;<emphasis>modulename</emphasis>&gt; [ &lt;<emphasis>module parameters</emphasis>&gt; ]</programlisting>
<para>where</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>

<para>The function determines if the module named by
&lt;<emphasis>modulename</emphasis>&gt; is already loaded and if not then
the function determines if the <quote>.o</quote> file corresponding to the
module exists in the <emphasis>&lt;moduledirectory&gt;</emphasis>; if so,
then the following command is executed:</para>
<programlisting>insmod <emphasis>&lt;moduledirectory</emphasis>&gt;/&lt;<emphasis>modulename</emphasis>&gt;.o &lt;<emphasis>module parameters</emphasis>&gt;</programlisting>
<para>If the file doesn't exist, the function determines of the
<quote>.o.gz</quote> file corresponding to the module exists in the
<emphasis>moduledirectory</emphasis>. If it does, the function assumes
that the running configuration supports compressed modules and execute the
following command:</para>
<programlisting>insmod <emphasis>&lt;moduledirectory</emphasis>&gt;/&lt;<emphasis>modulename</emphasis>&gt;.o.gz &lt;<emphasis>module parameters</emphasis>&gt;</programlisting>
<para>Beginning with the 1.4.9 Shorewall release, the value of the
MODULE_SUFFIX option in determines which files the loadmodule function
looks for if the named module doesn't exist. For each file
<emphasis>&lt;extension&gt;</emphasis> listed in MODULE_SUFFIX (default "o
gz ko o.gz"), the function will append a period (".") and the extension
and if the resulting file exists then the following command will be
executed:</para>
<programlisting>insmod <emphasis>moduledirectory</emphasis>/&lt;<emphasis>modulename</emphasis>&gt;.<emphasis>&lt;extension&gt;</emphasis> &lt;<emphasis>module parameters</emphasis>&gt;</programlisting>
