/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>

<term>BROADCAST</term>
<listitem>
<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
&#34;-&#34; in this column. If you supply the special value

determine the broadcast address. In order to use &#34;detect&#34;:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>the interface must be up before you start your firewall</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>the interface must only be attached to a single

<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
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/&#60;interface&#62;/arp_filter to be
set with the result that this interface will only answer ARP
&#39;who-has&#39; 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 &#34;-&#34;.</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 &#34;silent&#34; 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 address that is reserved in RFC 1918 or in other RFCs
will be dropped after being optionally logged. If <link
linkend="Conf">packet mangling is enabled in
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</link> , then packets arriving
on this interface that have a destination address that is
reserved by one of these RFCs will also be logged and dropped.</para>
<para>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.</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
&#34;modems&#34; 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>routefilter</term>
<listitem>
<para>Invoke the Kernel&#39;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>dropunclean</term>
<listitem>
<para>Packets from this interface that are selected by the
&#39;unclean&#39; match target in iptables will be optionally
logged and then dropped.</para>
<warning>
<para>This feature requires that UNCLEAN match support be
configured in your kernel, either in the kernel itself or as
a module. UNCLEAN support is broken in some versions of the
kernel but appears to work ok in 2.4.17-rc1.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Update 12/17/2001:</emphasis>
The unclean match patch from 2.4.17-rc1 is <ulink
url="ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/misc/unclean.patch">available
for download</ulink>. I am currently running this patch
applied to kernel 2.4.16.</para>
<para><emphasis role="bold">Update 12/20/2001:</emphasis>
I&#39;ve seen a number of tcp connection requests with OPT
(020405B4<emphasis role="bold">0000080A</emphasis>...) being
dropped in the <emphasis>badpkt</emphasis> chain. This
appears to be a bug in the remote TCP stack whereby it is
8-byte aligning a timestamp (TCP option 8) but rather than
padding with 0x01 it is padding with 0x00. It&#39;s a tough
call whether to deny people access to your servers because
of this rather minor bug in their networking software. If
you wish to disable the check that causes these connections
to be dropped, <ulink
url="ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/misc/unclean1.patch">here&#39;s

</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>logunclean</term>
<listitem>
<para>This option works like <emphasis role="bold">dropunclean</emphasis>
with the exception that packets selected by the
&#39;unclean&#39; match target in iptables are logged
<emphasis>but not dropped</emphasis>. The level at which the
packets are logged is determined by the setting of LOGUNCLEAN
and if LOGUNCLEAN has not been set, &#34;info&#34; is assumed.</para>
</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/&#60;<emphasis>interface</emphasis>&#62;/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

<title>Nested and Overlapping Zones</title>
<para>The /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/hosts 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 /etc/shorewall/zones 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
/etc/shorewall/zones.</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

<title>IntraZone 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 &#34;all&#34; 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 &#39;net&#39; interfaces to different ISPs. You
don&#39;t want to route traffic from one ISP to the other through

all be able to communicate between themselves using your

<para>Given these two rules, Sam can connect to the firewall&#39;s

<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 &#39;sam&#39; 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>

<para>An IP address followed by a colon and the port <emphasis

(service names from /etc/services are not allowed - example
loc:192.168.1.3:80).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A single port number (again, service names are not
allowed) -- this form is only allowed if the ACTION is REDIRECT
and refers to a server running on the firewall itself and
listening on the specified port.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Restrictions:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>MAC addresses may not be specified.</para>

<para>In DNAT rules, only IP addresses may be given -- DNS names
are not permitted.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You may not specify both an IP address and an interface
name in the DEST column.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Unlike in the SOURCE column, a range of IP addresses may be
specified in the DEST column as &#60;<emphasis>first address</emphasis>&#62;-&#60;<emphasis>last
address</emphasis>&#62;. When the ACTION is DNAT or DNAT-,
connections will be assigned to the addresses in the range in a
round-robin fashion (load-balancing). <emphasis role="bold">This
feature is available with DNAT rules only with Shorewall 1.4.6 and
later versions; it is available with DNAT- rules in all versions
that support DNAT-.</emphasis></para>
</listitem>

<varlistentry>
<term>PROTO</term>
<listitem>
<para>Protocol. Must be a protocol name from /etc/protocols, a

request.</para>

<varlistentry>
<term>DEST PORT(S)</term>
<listitem>
<para>Port or port range (&#60;low port&#62;:&#60;high port&#62;)
being connected to. May only be specified if the protocol is tcp,
udp or icmp. For icmp, this column&#39;s contents are interpreted as
an icmp type. If you don&#39;t want to specify DEST PORT(S) but need
to include information in one of the columns to the right, enter
&#34;-&#34; in this column. You may give a list of ports and/or port
ranges separated by commas. Port numbers may be either integers or
service names from /etc/services.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SOURCE PORTS(S)</term>
<listitem>
<para>May be used to restrict the rule to a particular client port
or port range (a port range is specified as &#60;low port
number&#62;:&#60;high port number&#62;). If you don&#39;t want to
restrict client ports but want to specify something in the next
column, enter &#34;-&#34; in this column. If you wish to specify a
list of port number or ranges, separate the list elements with
commas (with no embedded white space). Port numbers may be either
integers or service names from /etc/services.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<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>The IP address(es) may be optionally followed by &#34;:&#34;
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 &#34;Source NAT&#34; or SNAT.</para>
<para>If this list begins with &#34;!&#34; then the rule will only
apply if the original destination address matches none of the
addresses listed.</para>
<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>

<para>If you are running wu-ftpd, you should restrict the range of
passive in your /etc/ftpaccess file. I only need a few simultaneous FTP
sessions so I use port range 65500-65535. In /etc/ftpaccess, this entry
is appropriate:</para>
<programlisting>passive ports 0.0.0.0/0 65500 65534</programlisting>
<para>If you are running pure-ftpd, you would include &#34;-p
65500:65534&#34; on the pure-ftpd runline.</para>
<para>The important point here is to ensure that the port range used for
FTP passive connections is unique and will not overlap with any usage on
the firewall system.</para>

<para>Shorewall allows definition of rules that apply between all zones.
By default, these rules are defined in the file /etc/shorewall/common.def
but may be modified to suit individual requirements. Rather than modify
/etc/shorewall/common.def, you should copy that file to
/etc/shorewall/common and modify that file.</para>
<para>The /etc/shorewall/common file is expected to contain iptables
commands; rather than running iptables directly, you should run it
indirectly using the Shorewall function &#39;run_iptables&#39;. That way,
if iptables encounters an error, the firewall will be safely stopped.</para>

<para>The /etc/shorewall/masq file is used to define classical IP
Masquerading and Source Network Address Translation (SNAT). There is one
entry in the file for each subnet that you want to masquerade. In order to
make use of this feature, you must have NAT enabled.</para>
<para>Columns are:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>INTERFACE</term>
<listitem>
<para>The interface that will masquerade the subnet; this is
normally your internet interface. This interface name can be
optionally qualified by adding &#34;:&#34; 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
1.3.14, if you have set ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes in <xref linkend="Conf" />,
you can cause Shorewall to create an alias <emphasis>label</emphasis>
of the form <emphasis>interfacename:digit</emphasis> (e.g., eth0:0)
by placing 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. <emphasis role="bold">THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT
THIS LABEL IS GOOD FOR AND IT MAY NOT APPEAR ANYWHERE ELSE IN YOUR
SHOREWALL CONFIGURATION.</emphasis></para>
</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
&#39;ip&#39; 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>
</caution>
<para>The subnet may be optionally followed by &#34;!&#39; and a
comma-separated list of addresses and/or subnets that are to be
excluded from masquerading.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>ADDRESS</term>
<listitem>
<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>

<para>If you want to use proxy ARP on an entire sub-network, I suggest

an individual host (A) on that segment and a system whose entry has
changed, you may need to flush the ARP cache on host A as well.</para>
<para>ISPs typically have ARP configured with long TTL (hours!) so if
your ISPs router has a stale cache entry (as seen using &#34;tcpdump

<para>This file is used to set the following firewall parameters:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>ADMINISABSENTMINDED</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added at version 1.4.7) - The value of this variable affects
Shorewall&#39;s <ulink url="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm">stopped
state</ulink>. When ADMINISABSENTMINDES=No, only traffic to/from
those addresses listed in /etc/shorewall/routestopped is accepted
when Shorewall is stopped.When ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, in addition
to traffic to/from addresses in /etc/shorewall/routestopped,
connections that were active when Shorewall stopped continue to work
and all new connections from the firewall system itself are allowed.
If this variable is not set or is given the empty value then
ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No is assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>SHOREWALL_SHELL</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added at version 1.4.6) - This parameter is used to specify
the shell program to be used to interpret the firewall script
(/usr/share/shorewall/firewall). If not specified or specified as a
null value, /bin/sh is assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<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
&#39;printf&#39; formatting template which accepts three arguments
(the chain name, logging rule number (optional) and the
disposition). To use LOGFORMAT with <ulink
url="http://www.fireparse.com">fireparse</ulink>, set it as:</para>
<programlisting>LOGFORMAT=&#34;fp=%s:%d a=%s &#34;</programlisting>
<para>If the LOGFORMAT value contains the substring &#39;%d&#39;
then the logging rule number is calculated and 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=&#34;&#34;) then &#34;Shorewall:%s:%s:&#34; is assumed.</para>
<caution>
<para>/sbin/shorewall uses the leading part of the LOGFORMAT
string (up to but not including the first &#39;%&#39;) to find log
messages in the &#39;show log&#39;, &#39;status&#39; and
&#39;hits&#39; commands. This part should not be omitted (the
LOGFORMAT should not begin with &#34;%&#34;) and the leading part
should be sufficiently unique for /sbin/shorewall to identify
Shorewall messages.</para>
</caution>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>CLEAR_TC</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added at version 1.3.13) - If this option is set to
&#39;No&#39; then Shorewall won&#39;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 /etc/shorewall/tcstart file. That way, your traffic
shaping rules can still use the &#39;fwmark&#39; 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 &#34;/sbin/shorewall show
mangle&#34; 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=&#34;&#34;) then MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=No is
assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>RFC1918_LOG_LEVEL</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added at version 1.3.12) - This parameter determines the
level at which packets logged under the <link linkend="rfc1918">&#39;norfc1918&#39;
mechanism</link> are logged. The value must be a valid <ulink
url="shorewall_logging.html">syslog level</ulink> and if no level is
given, then info is assumed. Prior to Shorewall version 1.3.12,
these packets are always logged at the info level.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.11) - Determines the disposition of TCP
packets that fail the checks enabled by the <link
linkend="Interfaces">tcpflags</link> interface option and must have
a value of ACCEPT (accept the packet), REJECT (send an RST response)
or DROP (ignore the packet). If not set or if set to the empty value
(e.g., TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION=&#34;&#34;) then
TCP_FLAGS_DISPOSITION=DROP is assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.11) - Determines the <ulink
url="shorewall_logging.html">syslog level</ulink> for logging
packets that fail the checks enabled by the <link
linkend="Interfaces">tcpflags</link> interface option.The value must
be a valid syslogd log level. If you don&#39;t want to log these
packets, set to the empty value (e.g.,
TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL=&#34;&#34;).</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
empty value (e.g., MACLIST_DISPOSITION=&#34;&#34;) then
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
url="shorewall_logging.html">syslog level</ulink> for logging
connection requests that fail <ulink url="MAC_Validation.html">MAC
Verification</ulink>. The value must be a valid syslogd log level.
If you don&#39;t want to log these connection requests, set to the
empty value (e.g., MACLIST_LOG_LEVEL=&#34;&#34;).</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>NEWNOTSYN</term>
<listitem>
<para>(Added in Version 1.3.8) - When set to &#34;Yes&#34; or
&#34;yes&#34;, 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 &#34;No&#34;, Shorewall will silently
drop such packets. If not set or set to the empty value (e.g.,
&#34;NEWNOTSYN=&#34;), 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 &#34;Yes&#34; or
&#34;yes&#34;, 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 &#34;No&#34;
or &#34;no&#34;, Shorewall will not detect this address and any
destination IP address will match the DNAT rule. If not specified or
empty, &#34;DETECT_DNAT_ADDRS=Yes&#34; is assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>MULTIPORT</term>
<listitem>
<note>
<para>Removed in version 1.4.6 -- the value of this parameter is
now automatically detected by Shorewall</para>
</note>
<para>If set to &#34;Yes&#34; or &#34;yes&#34;, Shorewall will use
the Netfilter multiport facility. In order to use this facility,
your kernel must have multiport support
(CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MULTIPORT). When this support is used, Shorewall
will generate a single rule from each record in the
/etc/shorewall/rules file that meets these criteria:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>No port range(s) specified</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies 15 or fewer ports</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Rules not meeting those criteria will continue to generate an
individual rule for each listed port or port range.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>NAT_BEFORE_RULES</term>
<listitem>
<para>If set to &#34;No&#34; or &#34;no&#34;, port forwarding rules
can override the contents of the <xref linkend="NAT" /> file. If set
to &#34;Yes&#34; or &#34;yes&#34;, port forwarding rules cannot
override one-to-one NAT. If not set or set to an empty value,
&#34;Yes&#34; 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 &#34;fw&#34; 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&#39;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&#39;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 &#34;/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>

<para>Packets <emphasis role="bold">from</emphasis> hosts listed in the
blacklist file will be disposed of according to the value assigned to the
<link linkend="Conf">BLACKLIST_DISPOSITION</link> and <link linkend="Conf">BLACKLIST_LOGLEVEL</link>
variables in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. Only packets arriving on
interfaces that have the &#39;<link linkend="Interfaces">blacklist</link>&#39;
option in /etc/shorewall/interfaces are checked against the blacklist. The
black list is designed to prevent listed hosts/subnets from accessing
services on <emphasis role="bold">your</emphasis> network.</para>
<para>Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.8, the blacklist file has three
columns:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>

<listitem>
<para>As described above.</para>

<listitem>
<para>Optional. If specified, only packets specifying this protocol
will be blocked.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>PORTS</term>
<listitem>
<para>Optional; may only be given if PROTOCOL is tcp, udp or icmp.
Expressed as a comma-separated list of port numbers or service names
(from /etc/services). If present, only packets destined for the
specified protocol and one of the listed ports are blocked. When the
PROTOCOL is icmp, the PORTS column contains a comma-separated list
of ICMP type numbers or names (see &#34;iptables -h icmp&#34;).</para>
