<para>Shorewall-perl contains a re-implementation of the Shorewall

<para>Now that Netfilter has features to deal reasonably with port
|
|
lists, I see no reason to duplicate those features in Shorewall.
|
|
The Shorewall-shell compiler goes to great pain (in some cases) to
|
|
break very long port lists ( > 15 where port ranges in lists
|
|
count as two ports) into individual rules. In the new compiler,
|
|
I'm avoiding the ugliness required to do that. The new compiler
|
|
just generates an error if your list is too long. It will also
|
|
produce an error if you insert a port range into a port list and
|
|
you don't have extended multiport support.</para>

<para>With the shell-based compiler, extension scripts were copied
|
|
into the compiled script and executed at run-time. In many cases,
|
|
this approach doesn't work with Shorewall Perl because (almost)
|
|
the entire ruleset is built by the compiler. As a result,
|
|
Shorewall-perl runs many extension scripts at compile-time rather
|
|
than at run-time. Because the compiler is written in Perl, your
|
|
extension scripts from earlier versions will no longer
|
|
work.</para>

<para>Compile-time extension scripts are executed using the Perl

'eval `cat <file>`' mechanism. Be sure that each script

<para>Here is an example of an actual initdone script used with
|
|
Shorewall 3.4:<programlisting>run_iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -p esp -j MARK --set-mark 0x50
|
|
run_iptables -t filter -I INPUT -p udp --dport 1701 -m mark --mark 0x50 -j ACCEPT
|
|
run_iptables -t filter -I OUTPUT -p udp --sport 1701 -j ACCEPT
|
|
</programlisting></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Here is the corresponding script used with
|
|
Shorewall-perl:<programlisting>use Shorewall::Chains;
|
|
|
|
insert_rule $mangle_table->{PREROUTING}, 1, "-p esp -j MARK --set-mark 0x50";
|
|
insert_rule $filter_table->{INPUT}, 1, "-p udp --dport 1701 -m mark --mark 0x50 -j ACCEPT";
|
|
insert_rule $filter_table->{OUTPUT}, 1, "-p udp --sport 1701 -j ACCEPT";
|
|
|
|
1;</programlisting></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The initdone script is unique because the $chainref variable
|
|
is not set before the script is called. The above script
|
|
illustrates how the $mangle_table, $filter_table, and $nat_table
|
|
references can be used to add or insert rules in arbitrary
|
|
chains.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/tos</filename> file now has
|
|
zone-independent SOURCE and DEST columns as do all other files
|
|
except the rules and policy files.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The SOURCE column may be one of the following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>[<command>all</command>:]<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]</member>
|
|
|
|
<member>[<command>all</command>:]<<replaceable>interface</replaceable>>[:<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]]</member>
|
|
|
|
<member><command>$FW</command>[:<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]]</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
|
|
<para>The DEST column may be one of the following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>[<command>all</command>:]<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]</member>
|
|
|
|
<member>[<command>all</command>:]<<replaceable>interface</replaceable>>[:<<replaceable>address</replaceable>>[,...]]</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
|
|
<para>This is a permanent change. The old zone-based rules have
|
|
never worked right and this is a good time to replace them. I've
|
|
tried to make the new syntax cover the most common cases without
|
|
requiring change to existing files. In particular, it will handle
|
|
the tos file released with Shorewall 1.4 and earlier.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Shorewall is now out of the ipset load/reload business. With
|
|
scripts generated by the Perl-based Compiler, the Netfilter
|
|
ruleset is never cleared. That means that there is no opportunity
|
|
for Shorewall to load/reload your ipsets since that cannot be done
|
|
while there are any current rules using ipsets.</para>

<para>So:</para>

<orderedlist numeration="upperroman">

<listitem>
|

<para>Your ipsets must be loaded before Shorewall starts. You
|

are free to try to do that with the following code in

<programlisting>if [ "$COMMAND" = start ]; then

<para>The file <filename>/etc/shorewall/ipsets</filename> will
|
|
normally be produced using the <command>ipset -S</command>
|
|
command.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The above will work most of the time but will fail in a
|
|
<command>shorewall stop</command> - <command>shorewall
|

start</command> sequence if you use ipsets in your

routestopped file (see below).</para>

<title>Using Shorewall-perl</title>

|
|
<para>If you only install one compiler, then that compiler will be
|
|
used.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you install both compilers, then the compiler actually used
|
|
depends on the SHOREWALL_COMPILER setting in
|
|
<filename>shorewall.conf</filename>. The value of this option can be
|
|
either 'perl' or 'shell'.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you add 'SHOREWALL_COMPILER=perl' to
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</filename> then by default, the
|
|
new compiler will be used on the system. If you add it to
|
|
<filename>shorewall.conf</filename> in a separate directory (such as a
|
|
Shorewall-lite export directory) then the new compiler will only be used
|
|
when you compile from that directory.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you only install one compiler, it is suggested that you do not
|
|
set SHOREWALL_COMPILER.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You may also select the compiler to use on the command line using
|
|
the 'C option:<simplelist>
|
|
<member>'-C shell' means use the shell compiler</member>
|
|
|
|
<member>'-C perl' means use the perl compiler</member>
|
|
</simplelist>The -C option overrides the setting in
|
|
shorewall.conf.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example:<programlisting><command>shorewall restart -C perl</command></programlisting></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>When the Shorewall-perl compiler has been selected, the
|
|
<filename>params</filename> file is processed twice, the second time using
|
|
the <option>-a</option> option which causes all variables set within the
|
|
file to be exported automatically by the shell. The Shorewall-perl
|
|
compiler uses the current environmental variables to perform variable
|
|
expansion within the other Shorewall configuration files.</para>
