<p> If you have a permanent internet connection such as DSL or Cable,
|
||
I recommend that you start the firewall automatically at boot. Once you
|
||
have installed "firewall" in your init.d directory, simply type
|
||
"chkconfig --add firewall". This will start the firewall in run levels
|
||
2-5 and stop it in run levels 1 and 6. If you want to configure your firewall
|
||
differently from this default, you can use the "--level" option in
|
||
chkconfig (see "man chkconfig") or using your favorite graphical run-level
|
||
editor.</p>

<p><strong><u> <font color="#000099"> Important Notes:</font></u></strong><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>Shorewall startup is disabled by default. Once you have configured
|
||
your firewall, you can enable startup by removing the file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled.
|
||
Note: Users of the .deb package must edit /etc/default/shorewall and set
|
||
'startup=1'.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>If you use dialup, you may want to start the firewall in your
|
||
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local script. I recommend just placing "shorewall restart"
|
||
in that script.</li>
|
||
|
||
</ol>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p> You can manually start and stop Shoreline Firewall using the "shorewall"
|
||
shell program: </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>shorewall start - starts the firewall</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall stop - stops the firewall</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall restart - stops the firewall (if it's running)
|
||
and then starts it again</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall reset - reset the packet and byte counters
|
||
in the firewall</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall clear - remove all rules and chains installed
|
||
by Shoreline Firewall</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall refresh - refresh the rules involving the broadcast
|
||
addresses of firewall interfaces and the black and white lists.</li>
|
||
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p> The "shorewall" program may also be used to monitor the firewall.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>shorewall status - produce a verbose report about the firewall
|
||
(iptables -L -n -v)</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall show <i>chain</i> - produce a verbose report about <i>chain
|
||
</i>(iptables -L <i>chain</i> -n -v)</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall show nat - produce a verbose report about the nat table
|
||
(iptables -t nat -L -n -v)</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall show tos - produce a verbose report about the mangle table
|
||
(iptables -t mangle -L -n -v)</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall show log - display the last 20 packet log entries.</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall show connections - displays the IP connections currently
|
||
being tracked by the firewall.</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall
|
||
show
|
||
tc - displays information
|
||
about the traffic control/shaping configuration.</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall monitor [ delay ] - Continuously display the firewall
|
||
status, last 20 log entries and nat. When the log entry display
|
||
changes, an audible alarm is sounded.</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall hits - Produces several reports about the Shorewall packet
|
||
log messages in the current /var/log/messages file.</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall version - Displays the installed version number.</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall check - Performs a <u>cursory</u> validation of the
|
||
zones, interfaces, hosts, rules and policy files. <font size="4"
|
||
color="#ff6666"><b>The "check" command does not parse and validate the
|
||
generated iptables commands so even though the "check" command completes
|
||
successfully, the configuration may fail to start. See the recommended
|
||
way to make configuration changes described below. </b></font> </li>
|
||
<li>shorewall try<i> configuration-directory</i> [<i> timeout</i> ]
|
||
- Restart shorewall using the specified configuration and if an error
|
||
occurs or if the<i> timeout </i> option is given and the new configuration
|
||
has been up for that many seconds then shorewall is restarted using the
|
||
standard configuration.</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall deny, shorewall reject, shorewall accept and shorewall
|
||
save implement <a href="blacklisting_support.htm">dynamic blacklisting</a>.</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall logwatch (added in version 1.3.2) - Monitors the <a
|
||
href="#Conf">LOGFILE </a>and produces an audible alarm when new Shorewall
|
||
messages are logged.</li>
|
||
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p> The <b>shorewall start</b>, <b>shorewall restart, shorewall check </b><EFBFBD>and
|
||
<b>shorewall try </b>commands allow you to specify which <a
|
||
href="#Configs"> Shorewall configuration</a> to use:</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
|
||
<p> shorewall [ -c <i>configuration-directory</i> ] {start|restart|check}<br>
|
||
shorewall try <i>configuration-directory</i></p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p> If a <i>configuration-directory</i> is specified, each time that Shorewall
|
||
is going to use a file in /etc/shorewall it will first look in the <i>configuration-directory</i>
|
||
. If the file is present in the <i>configuration-directory</i>, that file
|
||
will be used; otherwise, the file in /etc/shorewall will be used.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p> When changing the configuration of a production firewall, I recommend
|
||
the following:</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
|
||
<li>mkdir /etc/test</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>cd /etc/test</li>
|
||
|
||
<li><copy any files that you need to change from /etc/shorewall
|
||
to . and change them here></li>
|
||
|
||
<li>shorewall -c . check</li>
|
||
|
||
<li><correct any errors found by check and check again></li>
|
||
|
||
<li>/sbin/shorewall try .</li>
|
||
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p> If the configuration starts but doesn't work, just "shorewall restart"
|
||
to restore the old configuration. If the new configuration fails to start,
|
||
the "try" command will automatically start the old one for you.</p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<p> When the new configuration works then just </p>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
|
||
<li>cp * /etc/shorewall</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>cd</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>rm -rf /etc/test</li>
|
||
|
||
</ul>
