<title>INCLUDE Directive</title>
|
||
|
||
<para>Any configuration file may contain INCLUDE directives. An INCLUDE
|
||
directive consists of the word INCLUDE followed by a path name and causes
|
||
the contents of the named file to be logically included into the file
|
||
containing the INCLUDE. Relative path names given in an INCLUDE directive
|
||
are resolved using the current CONFIG_PATH setting (see <ulink
|
||
url="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5)).</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>INCLUDE's may be nested to a level of 3 -- further nested INCLUDE
|
||
directives are ignored with a warning message.</para>
|
||
|
||
<caution>
|
||
<para>If you are using <ulink
|
||
url="CompiledPrograms.html%23Lite">Shorewall Lite</ulink> , it is not
|
||
advisable to use INCLUDE in the <filename>params</filename> file in an
|
||
export directory. If you do that, you must ensure that the included file
|
||
is also present on the firewall system's <filename
|
||
class="directory">/etc/shorewall-lite/</filename> directory.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>If you only need the <filename>params</filename> file at compile
|
||
time, you can set EXPORTPARAMS=No in
|
||
<filename>shorewall.conf</filename>. That prevents the
|
||
<filename>params</filename> file from being copied into the compiled
|
||
script. With EXPORTPARAMS=No, it is perfectly okay to use INCLUDE in the
|

<filename>params</filename> file.</para>

<title>Using DNS Names</title>
|
||
|
||
<caution>
|
||
<para>I personally recommend strongly against using DNS names in
|
||
Shorewall configuration files. If you use DNS names and you are called
|
||
out of bed at 2:00AM because Shorewall won't start as a result of DNS
|
||
problems then don't say that you were not forewarned.</para>
|
||
</caution>
|
||
|
||
<para>Host addresses in Shorewall configuration files may be specified as
|
||
either IP addresses or DNS Names.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>DNS names in iptables rules aren't nearly as useful as they first
|
||
appear. When a DNS name appears in a rule, the iptables utility resolves
|
||
the name to one or more IP addresses and inserts those addresses into the
|
||
rule. So changes in the DNS->IP address relationship that occur after
|
||
the firewall has started have absolutely no effect on the firewall's rule
|
||
set.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>For some sites, using DNS names is very risky. Here's an
|
||
example:</para>

<para>Media Access Control (MAC) addresses can be used to specify packet

the firewall.</para>
|

<para>To use this feature, your kernel must have MAC Address Match support
|

(CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MAC) included.</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>MAC addresses are 48 bits wide and each Ethernet Controller has a
|
||
unique MAC address.</para>
|

|
||
<para>In GNU/Linux, MAC addresses are usually written as a series of 6 hex

numbers separated by colons.</para>

<title>Saved Configurations</title>
|

|

<para>Shorewall allows you to <firstterm>save</firstterm> the
|
||
currently-running configuration in a form that permits it to be
|
||
re-installed quickly. When you save the configuration using the
|
||
<command>shorewall save</command> command, the running configuration is
|
||
saved in a file in the <filename
|
||
class="directory">/var/lib/shorewall</filename> directory. The default
|
||
name of that file is <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore</filename> but
|
||
you can specify a different name as part of the command. For example, the
|
||
command <command>shorewall save standard</command> will save the running
|
||
configuration in <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard</filename>. A saved
|
||
configuration is re-installed using the <command>shorewall
|
||
restore</command> command. Again, that command normally will restore the
|
||
configuration saved in <filename>/var/lib/shorewall/restore</filename> but
|
||
as with the <command>save</command> command, you can specify a different
|
||
file name in the command. For example, <command>shorewall restore
|
||
standard</command> will re-install the configuration saved in
|
||
<filename>/var/lib/shorewall/standard</filename>. By permitting you to

save different configurations under different names, Shorewall provides a
|
||
means for quickly switching between these different saved
|
||
configurations.</para>
|

|

<para>As mentioned above, the default configuration is called 'restore'
