<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 in
|
|
the /etc/init.d/ directory on a system without Shorewall installed and can
|
|
serve as the firewall creation script for that system.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Compiled programs can also be created to instantiate special
|
|
configurations during parts of the day; for example, to disallow web
|
|
browsing between the hours of 9pm and 7AM. The program can be run as a
|
|
cron job at 9PM and another program run at 6AM to restore normal
|
|
operation.</para>

<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>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 $variable to it's defined value) of
|
|
variables used in Shorewall configuration files to occur at
|
|
compile time. Running it at run-time allows your extension
|
|
scripts to use the variables that it creates. BUT -- for any
|
|
given variable, the value at compile time may be different from
|
|
the value at run-time unless you only assign constant
|
|
values.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For example, if you have:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>EXT_IP=$(fiind_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>When this flag is given, Shorewall does not probe the

<title>The /etc/shorewall/capabilities file and the shorecap

|
|
|
|
<para>As mentioned above, the /etc/shorewall/capabilities file specifies

that kernel/iptables capabilities of the target system. Here is a sample
|
|
file:</para>

|
|
|
|
<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 appear in the same
|
|
order as the output of that command.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To aid in creating this file, Shorewall 3.1 and later include a
|
|
shorecap program. The program is installed in the documentation directory
|
|
by the .rpm and is in the directory created when you untar the tarball. It
|
|
may be copied to /usr/bin on a remote system then run as follows:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<para><command>[ IPTABLES=<iptables binary> ] [
|
|
MODULESDIR=<kernel modules directory> ] shorecap >
|
|
capabilities</command></para>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>The IPTABLES and MODULESDIR options have their <ulink
|
|
url="Documentation.htm#Conf">usual Shorewall default
|
|
values</ulink>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<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>

|
<title>Running compiled programs</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Compiled firewall programs are complete programs that support the
|
|
following run-line commands:</para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member><command><program> [ -q ] [ -v ] [ -n ]
|

|

version</command></member>

</simplelist>
|

</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>The options have their same meaning is when they are passed to
|
|
<filename>/sbin/shorewall</filename> itself. The default VERBOSITY level
|
|
is the level specified in the shorewall.conf file used when then program
|
|
was compiled.</para>
