<title>Overview</title>
<para>Shorewall has the capability to compile a Shorewall configuration
and produce a runnable firewall program script. The script is a complete
program which can be placed on a system with <emphasis>Shorewall
Lite</emphasis> installed and can serve as the firewall creation script
for that system.</para>
<section id="Lite">
<title>Shorewall Lite</title>
<para>Shorewall Lite is a companion product to Shorewall and is designed
to allow you to maintain all Shorewall configuration information on a
single system within your network.</para>
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
<listitem>
<para>You install the full Shorewall release on one system within
your network. You need not configure Shorewall there and you may
totally disable startup of Shorewall in your init scripts. For ease
of reference, we call this system the 'administrative
system'.</para>
<para>The administrative system may be a GNU/Linux system, a Windows
system running <ulink url="http://www.cygwin.com/">Cygwin</ulink> or
an <ulink url="http://www.apple.com/mac/">Apple MacIntosh</ulink>

<listitem>
<para>On each system where you wish to run a Shorewall-generated
firewall, you install Shorewall Lite. For ease of reference, we will
call these systems the 'firewall systems'.</para>
<note>
<para>The firewall systems do <emphasis role="bold">NOT</emphasis>
need to have the full Shorewall product installed but rather only
the Shorewall Lite product. Shorewall and Shorewall Lite may be
installed on the same system but that isn't encouraged.</para>
</note>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>On the administrative system you create a separate 'export
directory' for each firewall system. You copy the contents of
<filename
class="directory">/usr/share/shorewall/configfiles</filename> into
each export directory.</para>
<note>
<para>Users of Debian and derivatives that install the package
from their distribution will be disappointed to find that
<filename
class="directory">/usr/share/shorewall/configfiles</filename> does
not exist on their systems. They will instead need to
either:</para>

<para>After copying, you may need to change two setting in the copy
of shorewall.conf:</para>

CONFIG_PATH</para>
</listitem>

<para>STARTUP_LOG=/var/log/shorewall-lite-init.log</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Older versions of Shorewall included copies of shorewall.conf
with these settings already modified. This practice was discontinued
in Shorewall 4.4.20.1.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> file is
used to determine the VERBOSITY setting which determines how much
output the compiler generates. All other settings are taken from the
<filename>shorewall.conf </filename>file in the remote systems
export directory.</para>
<caution>
<para>If you want to be able to allow non-root users to manage
remote firewall systems, then the files
<filename>/etc/shorewall/params</filename> and
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> must be
readable by all users on the administrative system. Not all
packages secure the files that way and you may have to change the
file permissions yourself.</para>
</caution>
</listitem>
<listitem id="Debian">
<para>On each firewall system, If you are running Debian or one of
its derivatives like Ubuntu then edit
<filename>/etc/default/shorewall-lite</filename> and set

</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>On the administrative system, for each firewall system you do
the following (this may be done by a non-root user who has root ssh
access to the firewall system):</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>modify the files in the corresponding export directory
appropriately (i.e., <emphasis>just as you would if you were
configuring Shorewall on the firewall system itself</emphasis>).
It's a good idea to include the IP address of the administrative
system in the <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall-routestopped.html"><filename>routestopped</filename>
file</ulink>.</para>
<para>It is important to understand that with Shorewall Lite,
the firewall's export directory on the administrative system
acts as <filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename>
for that firewall. So when the Shorewall documentation gives
instructions for placing entries in files in the firewall's
<filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename>, when
using Shorewall Lite you make those changes in the firewall's
export directory on the administrative system.</para>
<para>The CONFIG_PATH variable is treated as follows:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>The value of CONFIG_PATH in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> is
ignored when compiling for export (the -e option in given)
and when the <command>load</command> or
<command>reload</command> command is being executed (see
below).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The value of CONFIG_PATH in the
<filename>shorewall.conf</filename> file in the export
directory is used to search for configuration files during
compilation of that configuration.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>The value of CONFIG_PATH used when the script is run
on the firewall system is
"/etc/shorewall-lite:/usr/share/shorewall-lite".</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<programlisting><command>cd &lt;export directory&gt;</command>
<command>/sbin/shorewall load firewall</command></programlisting>
<para>The <ulink
url="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm#Load"><command>load</command></ulink>
command compiles a firewall script from the configuration files
in the current working directory (using <command>shorewall
compile -e</command>), copies that file to the remote system via
scp and starts Shorewall Lite on the remote system via
ssh.</para>
<para>Example (firewall's DNS name is 'gateway'):</para>
<para><command>/sbin/shorewall load gateway</command><note>
<para>Although scp and ssh are used by default, you can use
other utilities by setting RSH_COMMAND and RCP_COMMAND in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename>.</para>
</note></para>
<para>The first time that you issue a <command>load</command>
command, Shorewall will use ssh to run
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall-lite/shorecap</filename> on the
remote firewall to create a capabilities file in the firewall's
administrative direction. See <link
linkend="Shorecap">below</link>.</para>
</listitem>

<para>If you later need to change the firewall's configuration,
change the appropriate files in the firewall's export directory
then:</para>

<command>/sbin/shorewall reload firewall</command></programlisting>
<para>The <ulink

command compiles a firewall script from the configuration files in
the current working directory (using <command>shorewall compile
-e</command>), copies that file to the remote system via scp and
restarts Shorewall Lite on the remote system via ssh. The <emphasis

<para>I personally place a <filename>Makefile</filename> in each

<para>There is a <filename>shorewall-lite.conf</filename> file installed
as part of Shorewall Lite
(<filename>/etc/shorewall-lite/shorewall-lite.conf</filename>). You can
use that file on the firewall system to override some of the settings
from the shorewall.conf file in the export directory.</para>

<para>The <filename>/sbin/shorewall-lite</filename> program included

<para>On systems with only Shorewall Lite installed, I recommend that
you create a symbolic link <filename>/sbin/shorewall</filename> and

product is installed.</para>

<section>
<title>Module Loading</title>
<para>As with a normal Shorewall configuration, the shorewall.conf
file can specify LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY which determines if the
<filename>modules</filename> file (LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=No) or
<filename>helpers</filename> file (LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes) is used.
Normally, the file on the firewall system is used. If you want to
specify modules at compile time on the Administrative System, then you
must place a copy of the appropriate file
(<filename>modules</filename> or <filename>helpers</filename>) in the
firewall's configuration directory before compilation.</para>
<para>In Shorewall 4.4.17, the EXPORTMODULES option was added to
shorewall.conf (and shorewall6.conf). When EXPORTMODULES=Yes, any
<filename>modules</filename> or <filename>helpers</filename> file
found on the CONFIG_PATH on the Administrative System during
compilation will be used.</para>

<para>After editing:</para>

<para>If you set variables in the params file, there are a couple
of issues:</para>
<para>The <filename>params</filename> file is not processed at run
time if you set EXPORTPARAMS=No in

script when EXPORTPARAMS=No.</para>
<para>If the <filename>params</filename> file needs to set shell
variables based on the configuration of the firewall system, you
can use this trick:</para>
<programlisting>EXT_IP=$(ssh root@firewall "/sbin/shorewall-lite call find_first_interface_address eth0")</programlisting>
<para>The <command>shorewall-lite call</command> command allows
you to to call interactively any Shorewall function that you can

<para>The IPTABLES and MODULESDIR options have their <ulink
url="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">usual Shorewall default
values</ulink>.</para>
<para>The <filename>capabilities</filename> file may then be copied to a
system with Shorewall installed and used when compiling firewall programs
to run on the remote system.</para>
<para>The <filename>capabilities</filename> file may also be creating
using <filename>/sbin/shorewall-lite</filename>:<blockquote>
<para><command>shorewall-lite show -f capabilities &gt;
capabilities</command></para>
</blockquote></para>
<para>Note that unlike the <command>shorecap</command> program, the
<command>show capabilities</command> command shows the kernel's current
capabilities; it does not attempt to load additional kernel
modules.</para>

<para>Compiled firewall programs are complete shell programs that support
the following command line forms:</para>
<blockquote>
<simplelist>
<member><command>&lt;program&gt; [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -n ]
start</command></member>
<member><command>&lt;program&gt; [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -n ]
stop</command></member>
<member><command>&lt;program&gt; [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -n ]

<member><command>&lt;program&gt; [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -n ]
refresh</command></member>
<member><command>&lt;program&gt; [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -n ]
reset</command></member>
<member><command>&lt;program&gt; [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -n ]

status</command></member>
<member><command>&lt;program&gt; [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -n ]
version</command></member>
</simplelist>
</blockquote>
<para>The options have the same meanings as when they are passed to
<filename>/sbin/shorewall</filename> itself. The default VERBOSITY level
is the level specified in the <filename>shorewall.conf</filename> file
used when the program was compiled.</para>
