<p> 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 "source"
|
|
mechanism.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p><font color="#ff0000"><b>Caution: <br>

|
|
<li><font color="#ff0000"><b>Be sure that you actually need to use an extension
|
|
script to do what you want. Shorewall has a wide range of features that cover
|
|
most requirements.</b></font></li>

|
|
SHOREWALL. TO USE SHOREWALL EXTENSION SCRIPTS YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
|
|
WITH RESPECT TO iptables/Netfilter</b></font></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>The following scripts can be supplied:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>init -- invoked early in "shorewall start" and "shorewall
|
|
restart"</li>
|
|
<li>start -- invoked after the firewall has been started or restarted.</li>
|
|
<li>stop -- invoked as a first step when the firewall is being stopped.</li>
|
|
<li>stopped -- invoked after the firewall has been stopped.</li>
|
|
<li>clear -- invoked after the firewall has been cleared.</li>
|
|
<li>refresh -- invoked while the firewall is being refreshed but before
|
|
the common and/or blacklst chains have been rebuilt.</li>
|
|
<li>newnotsyn (added in version 1.3.6) -- invoked after the 'newnotsyn'
|
|
chain has been created but before any rules have been added to it.</li>
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><u><b>If your version of Shorewall doesn't have the file that you want
|
|
to use from the above list, you can simply create the file yourself.</b></u></p>
|
|
|
|
<p> You can also supply a script with the same name as any of the filter
|
|
chains in the firewall and the script will be invoked after the /etc/shorewall/rules
|
|
file has been processed but before the /etc/shorewall/policy file has
|
|
been processed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The /etc/shorewall/common file receives special treatment. If this file
|
|
is present, the rules that it defines will totally replace the default
|
|
rules in the common chain. These default rules are contained in
|
|
the file /etc/shorewall/common.def which may be used as a starting
|
|
point for making your own customized file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Rather than running iptables directly, you should run it using the
|
|
function run_iptables. Similarly, rather than running "ip" directly, you
|
|
should use run_ip. These functions accept the same arguments as the underlying
|
|
command but cause the firewall to be stopped if an error occurs during processing
|
|
of the command.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> If you decide to create /etc/shorewall/common it is a good idea to use
|
|
the following technique</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> /etc/shorewall/common:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>. /etc/shorewall/common.def<br><add your rules here></pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you need to supercede a rule in the released common.def file, you can
|
|
add the superceding rule before the '.' command. Using this technique
|
|
allows you to add new rules while still getting the benefit of the latest
|
|
common.def file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Remember that /etc/shorewall/common defines rules that are only applied
|
|
if the applicable policy is DROP or REJECT. These rules are NOT applied
|
|
if the policy is ACCEPT or CONTINUE<br>
