<h2>Comments</h2>
|
||
<p>You may place comments in configuration files by making the first
|
||
non-whitespace character a pound sign ("#"). You may also place
|
||
comments at the end of any line, again by delimiting the comment from
|
||
the
|
||
rest of the line with a pound sign.</p>
|
||
<p>Examples:</p>
|
||
<pre># This is a comment</pre>
|
||
<pre>ACCEPT net fw tcp www #This is an end-of-line comment</pre>
|
||
<h2><a name="Continuation"></a>Line Continuation</h2>
|
||
<p>You may continue lines in the configuration files using the usual
|
||
backslash ("\") followed immediately by a new line character.</p>
|
||
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
<pre>ACCEPT net fw tcp \<br>smtp,www,pop3,imap #Services running on the firewall</pre>
|
||
<h2><a name="INCLUDE"></a>IN<small><small></small></small>CLUDE
|
||
Directive</h2>
|
||
Beginning with Shorewall version 1.4.2, any file may contain INCLUDE
|
||
directives. An INCLUDE directive consists of the word INCLUDE followed
|
||
by a file name and causes the contents of the named file to be
|
||
logically included into the file containing the INCLUDE. File names
|
||
given in an INCLUDE directive are assumed to reside in /etc/shorewall
|
||
or in an alternate configuration directory if one has been specified
|
||
for the command.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
INCLUDE's may be nested to a level of 3 -- further nested INCLUDE
|
||
directives are ignored with a warning message.<big><big><br>

<h2><a name="dnsnames"></a>Using DNS Names</h2>
|
||
<p align="left"> </p>
|
||
<p align="left"><b>WARNING: I personally recommend strongly <u>against</u>
|
||
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. <br>
|
||
</b></p>
|
||
<p align="left"><b> -Tom<br>
|
||
</b></p>
|
||
<p align="left">Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.9, Host addresses in
|
||
Shorewall configuration files may be specified as either IP addresses
|
||
or DNS Names.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
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 ruleset. </p>
|
||
<p align="left"> If your firewall rules include DNS names then:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>If your /etc/resolv.conf is wrong then your firewall won't start.</li>
|
||
<li>If your /etc/nsswitch.conf is wrong then your firewall won't
|
||
start.</li>
|
||
<li>If your Name Server(s) is(are) down then your firewall won't
|
||
start.</li>
|
||
<li>If your startup scripts try to start your firewall before
|
||
starting your DNS server then your firewall won't start.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Factors totally outside your control (your ISP's router is down
|
||
for example), can prevent your firewall from starting.</li>
|
||
<li>You must bring up your network interfaces prior
|
||
to starting your firewall.<br>
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p align="left"> Each DNS name much be fully qualified and include a
|
||
minumum of two periods (although one may be trailing). This restriction
|
||
is imposed by Shorewall to insure backward compatibility with existing
|
||
configuration files.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Examples of valid DNS names:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>mail.shorewall.net</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall.net. (note the trailing period).</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
Examples of invalid DNS names:<br>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>mail (not fully qualified)</li>
|
||
<li>shorewall.net (only one period)</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
DNS names may not be used as:<br>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The server address in a DNAT rule (/etc/shorewall/rules file)</li>
|
||
<li>In the ADDRESS column of an entry in /etc/shorewall/masq.</li>
|
||
<li>In the /etc/shorewall/nat file.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
These restrictions are not imposed by Shorewall simply for your
|
||
inconvenience but are rather limitations of iptables.<br>
|
||
<h2><a name="Compliment"></a>Complementing an Address or Subnet</h2>
|
||
<p>Where specifying an IP address, a subnet or an interface, you can
|
||
precede the item with "!" to specify the complement of the item. For
|
||
example, !192.168.1.4 means "any host but 192.168.1.4". There must be
|
||
no white space following the "!".</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="Lists"></a>Comma-separated Lists</h2>
|
||
<p>Comma-separated lists are allowed in a number of contexts within the
|
||
configuration files. A comma separated list:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Must not have any embedded white space.<br>
|
||
Valid: routefilter,dhcp,norfc1918<br>
|
||
Invalid: routefilter,
|
||
dhcp, norfc1818</li>
|
||
<li>If you use line continuation to break a
|
||
comma-separated list, the continuation line(s) must begin
|
||
in column 1 (or there would be embedded white space)</li>
|
||
<li>Entries in a comma-separated list may appear in any order.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<h2><a name="Ports"></a>Port Numbers/Service Names</h2>
|
||
<p>Unless otherwise specified, when giving a port number you can use
|
||
either an integer or a service name from /etc/services. </p>
|
||
<h2><a name="Ranges"></a>Port Ranges</h2>
|
||
<p>If you need to specify a range of ports, the proper syntax is <<i>low
|
||
port number</i>>:<<i>high port number</i>>. For example, if
|
||
you want to forward the range of tcp ports 4000 through 4100 to local
|
||
host 192.168.1.3, the entry in /etc/shorewall/rules is:<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<pre> DNAT net loc:192.168.1.3 tcp 4000:4100<br></pre>
|
||
If you omit the low port number, a value of zero is assumed; if you
|
||
omit the high port number, a value of 65535 is assumed.<br>
|
||
<h2><a name="Variables"></a>Using Shell Variables</h2>
|
||
<p>You may use the /etc/shorewall/params file to set shell variables
|
||
that you can then use in some of the other configuration files.</p>
|
||
<p>It is suggested that variable names begin with an upper case letter<font
|
||
size="1"> </font>to distinguish them from variables used internally
|
||
within the Shorewall programs</p>
|
||
<p>Example:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<pre>NET_IF=eth0<br>NET_BCAST=130.252.100.255<br>NET_OPTIONS=routefilter,norfc1918</pre>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
<p><br>
|
||
Example (/etc/shorewall/interfaces record):</p>
|
||
<font face="Century Gothic, Arial, Helvetica">
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<pre><font face="Courier">net $NET_IF $NET_BCAST $NET_OPTIONS</font></pre>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
</font>
|
||
<p>The result will be the same as if the record had been written</p>
|
||
<font face="Century Gothic, Arial, Helvetica">
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<pre>net eth0 130.252.100.255 routefilter,norfc1918</pre>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
</font>
|
||
<p>Variables may be used anywhere in the other configuration files.</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="MAC"></a>Using MAC Addresses</h2>
|
||
<p>Media Access Control (MAC) addresses can be used to specify packet
|
||
source in several of the configuration files. To use this feature, your
|
||
kernel must have MAC Address Match support
|
||
(CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_MAC) included.</p>
|
||
<p>MAC addresses are 48 bits wide and each Ethernet Controller has a
|
||
unique MAC address.<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
In GNU/Linux, MAC addresses are usually written as a series of 6 hex
|
||
numbers separated by colons. Example:<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
[root@gateway root]# ifconfig eth0<br>
|
||
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <b><u>02:00:08:E3:FA:55</u></b><br>
|
||
inet addr:206.124.146.176
|
||
Bcast:206.124.146.255 Mask:255.255.255.0<br>
|
||
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500
|
||
Metric:1<br>
|
||
RX packets:2398102 errors:0 dropped:0
|
||
overruns:0 frame:0<br>
|
||
TX packets:3044698 errors:0 dropped:0
|
||
overruns:0 carrier:0<br>
|
||
collisions:30394 txqueuelen:100<br>
|
||
RX bytes:419871805 (400.4 Mb) TX
|
||
bytes:1659782221 (1582.8 Mb)<br>
|
||
Interrupt:11 Base address:0x1800<br>
|
||
<br>
|
||
Because Shorewall uses colons as a separator for address fields,
|
||
Shorewall requires MAC addresses to be written in another way. In
|
||
Shorewall, MAC addresses begin with a tilde ("~") and consist of 6 hex
|
||
numbers separated by hyphens. In Shorewall, the MAC address in the
|
||
example above would be written "~02-00-08-E3-FA-55".<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p><b>Note: </b>It is not necessary to use the special Shorewall
|
||
notation in the <a href="MAC_Validation.html">/etc/shorewall/maclist</a>
|
||
file.<br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2><a name="Levels"></a>Shorewall Configurations</h2>
|
||
<p> Shorewall allows you to have configuration directories other than
|
||
/etc/shorewall. The <a href="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm">shorewall
|
||
check, start and restart</a> commands allow you to specify an alternate
|
||
configuration directory and Shorewall will use the files in the
|
||
alternate directory rather than the corresponding files in
|
||
/etc/shorewall. The alternate directory need not contain a complete
|
||
configuration; those files not in the alternate directory will be read
|
||
from /etc/shorewall.</p>
|
||
<p> This facility permits you to easily create a test or temporary
|
||
configuration by:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li> copying the files that need modification from /etc/shorewall to
|
||
a separate directory;</li>
|
||
<li> modify those files in the separate directory; and</li>
|
||
<li> specifying the separate directory in a shorewall start or
|
||
shorewall restart command (e.g., <i><b>shorewall -c /etc/testconfig
|
||
restart</b></i> )</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
The <a href="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm"><b>try</b> command</a>
|
||
allows you to attempt to restart using an alternate configuration and
|
||
if an
|
||
error occurs to automatically restart the standard configuration.<br>
