<title>Overview</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with Shorewall version 3.1, Shorewall has the capability
|
|
to compile a Shorewall configuration and produce a runnable firewall
|
|
program script. The script is a complete program which can be placed on a
|
|
system with <emphasis>Shorewall Lite</emphasis> installed and can serve as
|
|
the firewall creation script for that system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<section>
|
|
<title>Restrictions</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>While compiled Shorewall programs are useful in many cases, there
|
|
are some important restrictions that you should be aware of before
|
|
attempting to use them.</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">detectnets</emphasis> interface
|
|
option is not supported.</para>

</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>DYNAMIC_ZONES=Yes in <filename>shorewall.conf</filename> is
|
|
not supported.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>All extension scripts used are copied into the program. The
|
|
ramifications of this are:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>If you update an extension script, the compiled program
|
|
will not use the updated script.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/params</filename> extension
|
|
script is executed at compile time as well as at run
|
|
time.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Running the script at compile time allows variable
|
|
expansion (expanding $variable to it's defined value) of
|
|
variables used in Shorewall configuration files to occur at
|
|
compile time. Running it at run-time allows your extension
|
|
scripts to use the variables that it creates. BUT -- for any
|
|
given variable, the value at compile time may be different from
|
|
the value at run-time unless you only assign constant
|
|
values.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For example, if you have:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>EXT_IP=$(find_first_interface_address eth0)</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>in <filename>/etc/shorewall/params</filename> then all
|
|
occurrences of $EXT_IP in Shorewall configuration files will be
|
|
replaced with eth0's IP address when the program is being
|
|
compiled. On the other hand, if you use $EXT_IP in your
|
|
/etc/shorewall/start script, the value will be the IP address of
|
|
eth0 when the program is run.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Bottom line: You probably want to use only constant values
|
|
for variables set in
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/params</filename>.</para>

<para>You must install Shorewall Lite on the system where you want
|

to run the script. You then install the compiled program in

/usr/share/shorewall/firewall and use the /sbin/shorewall program
|
|
included with Shorewall Lite to control the firewall just as if the
|
|
full Shorewall distribution was installed.</para>

firewall. So when the Shorewall documentation gives instructions

<para>As you can see, the file contains a simple list of shell variable
|
|
assignments -- the variables correspond to the capabilities listed by the
|
|
<command>shorewall show capabilities</command> command and they appear in
|
|
the same order as the output of that command.</para>

|
|
<para>To aid in creating this file, Shorewall Lite includes a
|
|
<command>shorecap</command> program. The program is installed in the
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall-lite/</filename> directory and may be run
|
|
as follows:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<para><command>[ IPTABLES=<iptables binary> ] [
|
|
MODULESDIR=<kernel modules directory> ]
|
|
/usr/share/shorewall-lite/shorecap > capabilities</command></para>

<para>The IPTABLES and MODULESDIR options have their <ulink

|
url="Documentation.htm#Conf">usual Shorewall default

<para>The <filename>capabilities</filename> file may then be copied to a

|
system with Shorewall installed and used when compiling firewall programs
|
|
to run on the remote system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Beginning with Shorewall Lite version 3.2.2, the capabilities file
|
|
may also be creating using

<para>The options have their same meaning is when they are passed to
