<title>Description</title>
<para>The shorewall utility is used to control the Shoreline Firewall
(Shorewall).</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Options</title>
<para>The <option>trace</option> and <option>debug</option> options are
used for debugging. See <ulink
url="http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping.htm#Trace">http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping.htm#Trace</ulink>.</para>
<para>The nolock <option>option</option> prevents the command from
attempting to acquire the Shorewall lockfile. It is useful if you need to
include <command>shorewall</command> commands in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/started</filename>.</para>
<para>The <emphasis>options</emphasis> control the amount of output that
the command produces. They consist of a sequence of the letters <emphasis
role="bold">v</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">q</emphasis>. If the
options are omitted, the amount of output is determined by the setting of
the VERBOSITY parameter in <ulink
url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5). Each <emphasis
role="bold">v</emphasis> adds one to the effective verbosity and each
<emphasis role="bold">q</emphasis> subtracts one from the effective
VERBOSITY. Anternately, <emphasis role="bold">v</emphasis> may be followed
immediately with one of -1,0,1,2 to specify a specify VERBOSITY. There may
be no white space between <emphasis role="bold">v</emphasis> and the
VERBOSITY.</para>
<para>The <emphasis>options</emphasis> may also include the letter
<option>t</option> which causes all progress messages to be
timestamped.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Commands</title>
<para>The available commands are listed below.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">add</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Adds a list of hosts or subnets to a dynamic zone usually used
with VPN's.</para>
<para>The <emphasis>interface</emphasis> argument names an interface
defined in the <ulink
url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5)
file. A <emphasis>host-list</emphasis> is comma-separated list whose
elements are host or network addresses.<caution>
<para>The <command>add</command> command is not very robust. If
there are errors in the <replaceable>host-list</replaceable>,
you may see a large number of error messages yet a subsequent
<command>shorewall show zones</command> command will indicate
that all hosts were added. If this happens, replace
<command>add</command> by <command>delete</command> and run the
same command again. Then enter the correct command.</para>
</caution></para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">allow</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Re-enables receipt of packets from hosts previously
blacklisted by a <emphasis role="bold">drop</emphasis>, <emphasis
role="bold">logdrop</emphasis>, <emphasis
role="bold">reject</emphasis>, or <emphasis
role="bold">logreject</emphasis> command.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">check</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Compiles the configuraton in the specified
<emphasis>directory</emphasis> and discards the compiled output
script. If no <emphasis>directory</emphasis> is given, then
/etc/shorewall is assumed.</para>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">-e</emphasis> option causes the
compiler to look for a file named capabilities. This file is
produced using the command <emphasis role="bold">shorewall-lite show
-f capabilities &gt; capabilities</emphasis> on a system with
Shorewall Lite installed.</para>
<para>The <option>-d</option> option causes the compiler to be run
under control of the Perl debugger.</para>
<para>The <option>-p</option> option causes the compiler to be
profiled via the Perl <option>-wd:DProf</option> command-line
option.</para>
<para>The <option>-r</option> option was added in Shorewall 4.5.2
and causes the compiler to print the generated ruleset to standard
out.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">clear</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Clear will remove all rules and chains installed by Shorewall.
The firewall is then wide open and unprotected. Existing connections
are untouched. Clear is often used to see if the firewall is causing
connection problems.</para>
<para>If <option>-f</option> is given, the command will be processed
by the compiled script that executed the last successful <emphasis
role="bold">start</emphasis>, <emphasis
role="bold">restart</emphasis> or <emphasis
role="bold">refresh</emphasis> command if that script exists.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">compile</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Compiles the current configuration into the executable file
<emphasis>pathname</emphasis>. If a directory is supplied, Shorewall
will look in that directory first for configuration files. If the
<emphasis>pathname</emphasis> is omitted, the file
<filename>firewall</filename> in the VARDIR (normally <filename
class="directory">/var/lib/shorewall/</filename>) is assumed. A
<emphasis>pathname</emphasis> of '-' causes the compiler to send the
generated script to it's standard output file. Note that '-v-1' is
usually specified in this case (e.g., <command>shorewall -v-1
compile -- -</command>) to suppress the 'Compiling...' message
normally generated by <filename>/sbin/shorewall</filename>.</para>
<para>When -e is specified, the compilation is being performed on a
system other than where the compiled script will run. This option
disables certain configuration options that require the script to be
compiled where it is to be run. The use of -e requires the presense
of a configuration file named <filename>capabilities</filename>
which may be produced using the command <emphasis
role="bold">shorewall-lite show -f capabilities &gt;
capabilities</emphasis> on a system with Shorewall Lite
installed</para>
<para>The <option>-d</option> option causes the compiler to be run
under control of the Perl debugger.</para>
<para>The <option>-p</option> option causes the compiler to be
profiled via the Perl <option>-wd:DProf</option> command-line
option.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">delete</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The delete command reverses the effect of an earlier <emphasis
role="bold">add</emphasis> command.</para>
<para>The <emphasis>interface</emphasis> argument names an interface
defined in the <ulink
url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5)
file. A <emphasis>host-list</emphasis> is comma-separated list whose
elements are a host or network address.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">drop</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Causes traffic from the listed <emphasis>address</emphasis>es
to be silently dropped.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">dump</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Produces a verbose report about the firewall configuration for
the purpose of problem analysis.</para>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">-x</emphasis> option causes actual
packet and byte counts to be displayed. Without that option, these
counts are abbreviated. The <emphasis role="bold">-m</emphasis>
option causes any MAC addresses included in Shorewall log messages
to be displayed.</para>
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">-l</emphasis> option causes the rule
number for each Netfilter rule to be displayed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">export</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>If <emphasis>directory1</emphasis> is omitted, the current
working directory is assumed.</para>
<para>Allows a non-root user to compile a shorewall script and stage
it on a system (provided that the user has access to the system via
ssh). The command is equivalent to:</para>
<programlisting> <emphasis role="bold">/sbin/shorewall compile -e</emphasis> <emphasis>directory1</emphasis> <emphasis>directory1</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">/firewall &amp;&amp;\</emphasis>
<emphasis role="bold">scp</emphasis> directory1<emphasis role="bold">/firewall</emphasis> <emphasis>directory1</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">/firewall.conf</emphasis> [<emphasis>user</emphasis>@]<emphasis
role="bold">system</emphasis>:[<emphasis>directory2</emphasis>]</programlisting>
<para>In other words, the configuration in the specified (or
defaulted) directory is compiled to a file called firewall in that
directory. If compilation succeeds, then firewall and firewall.conf
are copied to <emphasis>system</emphasis> using scp.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">forget</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Deletes /var/lib/shorewall/<emphasis>filenam</emphasis>e and
/var/lib/shorewall/save. If no <emphasis>filename</emphasis> is
given then the file specified by RESTOREFILE in <ulink
url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5) is
assumed.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">help</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Displays a syntax summary.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">hits</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Generates several reports from Shorewall log messages in the

reports are restricted to log messages generated today.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">ipcalc</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Ipcalc displays the network address, broadcast address,

<listitem>
<para>Iprange decomposes the specified range of IP addresses into
the equivalent list of network/host addresses.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">iptrace</emphasis></term>
<listitem>

<para>The listed chains are assumed to be in the filter table. You
