    <title>Description</title>

    <para>This file allows you to define new ACTIONS for use in rules (see
    shorewall-rules(5)). You define the iptables rules to be performed in an
    ACTION in /etc/shorewall/action.<emphasis>action-name</emphasis>.</para>

    <para>ACTION names should begin with an upper-case letter to distinguish
    them from Shorewall-generated chain names and they must meet the
    requirements of a Netfilter chain. If you intend to log from the action
    then the name must be no longer than 11 characters in length. Names must
    also meet the requirements for a Bourne Shell identifier (must begin with
    a letter and be composed of letters, digits and underscore
    characters).</para>
