<h2>How to Log Traffic through a Shorewall Firewall</h2>
|
||||
The disposition of packets entering a Shorewall firewall is
|
||||
determined by one of a number of Shorewall facilities. Only some of
|
||||
these facilities permit logging.<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>The packet is part of an established connection. The packet is
|
||||
accepted and cannot be logged.</li>
|
||||
<li>The packet represents a connection request that is related to an
|
||||
established connection (such as a <a href="FTP.html">data connection
|
||||
associated with an FTP control connection</a>). These packets
|
||||
also cannot be logged.</li>
|
||||
<li>The packet is rejected because of an option in <a
|
||||
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</a> or <a
|
||||
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>.
|
||||
These packets can be logged by setting the appropriate logging-related
|
||||
option in <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.</a></li>
|
||||
<li>The packet matches a rule in <a href="Documentation.htm#Rules">/etc/shorewall/rules</a>.
|
||||
By including a syslog level (see below) in the ACTION column of a rule
|
||||
(e.g., "ACCEPT<span
|
||||
style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">:info</span>
|
||||
net fw tcp 22"), the connection attempt will be logged at that level.</li>
|
||||
<li>The packet doesn't match a rule so is handled by a policy defined
|
||||
in <a href="Documentation.htm#Policy">/etc/shorewall/policy</a>. These
|
||||
may be logged by specifying a syslog level in the LOG LEVEL column of
|
||||
the policy entry (e.g., "loc net ACCEPT <span
|
||||
style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">info</span>"<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<h2>Where the Traffic is logged and how to Change the Destination<br>
|
||||
</h2>
|
||||
By default, Shorewall directs NetFilter to log using syslog (8). Syslog
|
||||
classifies log messages by a <i>facility</i> and a <i>priority</i>
|
||||
(using the notation <i>facility.priority</i>). <br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The facilities defined by syslog are <i>auth, authpriv, cron, daemon,
|
||||
kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, syslog, user, uucp</i> and <i>local0</i>
|
||||
through <i>local7</i>.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Throughout the Shorewall documentation, I will use the term <i>level</i>
|
||||
rather than <i>priority</i> since <i>level</i> is the term used by
|
||||
NetFilter. The syslog documentation uses the term <i>priority</i>.<br>
|
||||
<h3>Syslog Levels<br>
|
||||
</h3>
|
||||
Syslog levels are a method of describing to syslog (8) the importance
|
||||
of a message and a number of Shorewall parameters have a syslog level
|
||||
as their value.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Valid levels are:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
7 <span style="font-weight: bold;">debug</span>
|
||||
(Debug-level messages)<br>
|
||||
|
||||
6 <span style="font-weight: bold;">info</span>
|
||||
(Informational)<br>
|
||||
|
||||
5 <span style="font-weight: bold;">notice</span>
|
||||
(Normal but significant Condition)<br>
|
||||
|
||||
4 <span style="font-weight: bold;">
|
||||
warning</span> (Warning Conditions)<br>
|
||||
|
||||
3 <span style="font-weight: bold;">err</span>
|
||||
(Error Conditions)<br>
|
||||
|
||||
2 <span style="font-weight: bold;">crit</span>
|
||||
(Critical Conditions)<br>
|
||||
|
||||
1 <span style="font-weight: bold;">alert</span>
|
||||
(Must be handled immediately)<br>
|
||||
|
||||
0 <span style="font-weight: bold;">emerg</span>
|
||||
(System is unusable)<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
For most Shorewall logging, a level of 6 (info) is appropriate.
|
||||
Shorewall log messages are generated by NetFilter and are logged using
|
||||
the <i>kern</i> facility and the level that you specify. If you are
|
||||
unsure of the level to choose, 6 (info) is a safe bet. You may specify
|
||||
levels by name or by number.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Syslogd writes log messages to files (typically in /var/log/*)
|
||||
based on their facility and level. The mapping of these facility/level
|
||||
pairs to log files is done in /etc/syslog.conf (5). If you make changes
|
||||
to this file, you must restart syslogd before the changes can take
|
||||
effect.<br>
|
||||
<h3>Configuring a Separate Log for Shorewall Messages</h3>
|
||||
There are a couple of limitations to syslogd-based logging:<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>If you give, for example, kern.info it's own log destination then
|
||||
that destination will also receive all kernel messages of levels 5
|
||||
(notice) through 0 (emerg).</li>
|
||||
<li>All kernel.info messages will go to that destination and not just
|
||||
those from NetFilter.<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
Beginning with Shorewall version 1.3.12, if your kernel has ULOG target
|
||||
support (and most vendor-supplied kernels do), you may also specify a
|
||||
log level of ULOG (must be all caps). When ULOG is used, Shorewall will
|
||||
direct netfilter to log the related messages via the ULOG target which
|
||||
will send them to a process called 'ulogd'. The ulogd program is
|
||||
available from http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd and can be
|
||||
configured to log all Shorewall message to their own log file.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
<b>Note: </b>The ULOG logging mechanism is <u>completely separate</u>
|
||||
from syslog. Once you switch to ULOG, the settings in /etc/syslog.conf
|
||||
have
|
||||
absolutely no effect on your Shorewall logging (except for Shorewall
|
||||
status
|
||||
messages which still go to syslog).<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
You will need to have the kernel source available to compile ulogd.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Download the ulod tar file and:<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Be sure that /usr/src/linux is linked to your kernel source tree<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>cd /usr/local/src (or wherever you do your builds)</li>
|
||||
<li>tar -zxf <i>source-tarball-that-you-downloaded</i></li>
|
||||
<li>cd ulogd-<i>version</i><br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>./configure</li>
|
||||
<li>make</li>
|
||||
<li>make install<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
If you are like me and don't have a development environment on your
|
||||
firewall, you can do the first six steps on another system then either
|
||||
NFS
|
||||
mount your /usr/local/src directory or tar up the /usr/local/src/ulogd-<i>version</i>
|
||||
directory and move it to your firewall system.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Now on the firewall system, edit /usr/local/etc/ulogd.conf and set:<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>syslogfile <i><file that you wish to log to></i></li>
|
||||
<li>syslogsync 1</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
Also on the firewall system:<br>
|
||||
<blockquote>touch <<i>file that you wish to log to</i>><br>
|
||||
</blockquote>
|
||||
I also copied the file /usr/local/src/ulogd-<i>version</i>/ulogd.init
|
||||
to /etc/init.d/ulogd. I had to edit the line that read "daemon
|
||||
/usr/local/sbin/ulogd" to read daemon /usr/local/sbin/ulogd -d". On a
|
||||
RedHat system, a simple
|
||||
"chkconfig --level 3 ulogd on" starts ulogd during boot up. Your init
|
||||
system
|
||||
may need something else done to activate the script.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
You will need to change all instances of log levels (usually 'info') in
|
||||
your configuration files to 'ULOG' - this includes entries in the
|
||||
policy, rules and shorewall.conf files. Here's what I have:<br>
|
||||
<pre> [root@gateway shorewall]# grep ULOG *<br> policy:loc fw REJECT ULOG<br> policy:net all DROP ULOG 10/sec:40<br> policy:all all REJECT ULOG<br> rules:REJECT:ULOG loc net tcp 6667<br> shorewall.conf:TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL=ULOG<br> shorewall.conf:RFC1918_LOG_LEVEL=ULOG<br> [root@gateway shorewall]#<br></pre>
|
||||
Finally edit /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and set LOGFILE=<i><file
|
||||
that you wish to log to></i>. This tells the /sbin/shorewall program
|
||||
where to look for the log when processing its "show log", "logwatch"
|
||||
and
|
||||
"monitor" commands.<br>

|

<para>I also copied the file /usr/local/src/ulogd-<emphasis>version</emphasis>/ulogd.init
|
||||
to /etc/init.d/ulogd. I had to edit the line that read "daemon
|
||||
/usr/local/sbin/ulogd" to read daemon /usr/local/sbin/ulogd -d".
|
||||
On a RedHat system, a simple "chkconfig --level 3 ulogd on"
|
||||
starts ulogd during boot up. Your init system may need something else
|
||||
done to activate the script.</para>
|

|
||||
<para>You will need to change all instances of log levels (usually
|
||||
'info') in your configuration files to 'ULOG' - this
|
||||
includes entries in the policy, rules and shorewall.conf files.
|
||||
Here's what I have:</para>
|
||||
|
||||
<programlisting> [root@gateway shorewall]# grep ULOG *
|
||||
policy:loc fw REJECT ULOG
|
||||
policy:net all DROP ULOG 10/sec:40
|
||||
policy:all all REJECT ULOG
|
||||
rules:REJECT:ULOG loc net tcp 6667
|
||||
shorewall.conf:TCP_FLAGS_LOG_LEVEL=ULOG
|
||||
shorewall.conf:RFC1918_LOG_LEVEL=ULOG
|
||||
[root@gateway shorewall]#</programlisting>
|
||||
|
||||
<para>Finally edit /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf and set LOGFILE=<<emphasis>file
|
||||
that you wish to log to</emphasis>>. This tells the /sbin/shorewall
|
||||
program where to look for the log when processing its "show
|
||||
log", "logwatch" and "monitor" commands.</para>
