<title>OPTIONS</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Many options have as their value a <emphasis>log-level</emphasis>.
|
|
Log levels are a method of describing to syslog (8) the importance of a
|
|
message and a number of parameters in this file have log levels as their
|
|
value.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>These levels are defined by syslog and are used to determine the
|
|
destination of the messages through entries in /etc/syslog.conf (5). The
|
|
syslog documentation refers to these as "priorities"; Netfilter calls them
|
|
"levels" and Shorewall also uses that term.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Valid levels are:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting> 7 debug
|
|
6 info
|
|
5 notice
|
|
4 warning
|
|
3 err
|
|
2 crit
|
|
1 alert
|
|
0 emerg</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>For most Shorewall logging, a level of 6 (info) is appropriate.
|
|
Shorewall log messages are generated by NetFilter and are logged using
|
|
facility 'kern' and the level that you specifify. If you are unsure of the
|
|
level to choose, 6 (info) is a safe bet. You may specify levels by name or
|
|
by number.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you have built your kernel with ULOG target support, you may also
|
|
specify a log level of ULOG (must be all caps). Rather than log its
|
|
messages to syslogd, Shorewall will direct netfilter to log the messages
|
|
via the ULOG target which will send them to a process called 'ulogd'.
|
|
ulogd is available with most Linux distributions (although it probably
|
|
isn't installed by default). Ulogd is also available from <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html">http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html</ulink>
|
|
and can be configured to log all Shorewall message to their own log
|
|
file</para>
|
|

<para>In earlier Shorewall versions, a "default action" for DROP and

<para>Normally, when the SOURCE or DEST columns in

shorewall-policy(5) contains 'all', a single policy chain is created
|
|
and the policy is enforced in that chain. For example, if the policy
|
|
entry is<programlisting>#SOURCE DEST POLICY LOG
|
|
# LEVEL
|
|
net all DROP info</programlisting>then the chain name is 'net2all'
|
|
which is also the chain named in Shorewall log messages generated as
|
|
a result of the policy. If EXPAND_POLICIES=Yes, then Shorewall-perl
|
|
will create a separate chain for each pair of zones covered by the
|
|
policy. This makes the resulting log messages easier to interpret
|
|
since the chain in the messages will have a name of the form 'a2b'
|
|
where 'a' is the SOURCE zone and 'b' is the DEST zone.</para>
