<title>What are Shorewall Actions?</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall actions allow a symbolic name to be associated with a
|
|
series of one or more iptables rules. The symbolic name may appear in the
|
|
ACTION column of an <filename><ulink
|
|
url="Documentation.htm#Rules">/etc/shorewall/rules</ulink></filename> file
|
|
entry in which case, the traffic matching that rules file entry will be
|
|
passed to the series of iptables rules named by the action.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Actions can be thought of as templates. When an action is invoked in
|
|
an <filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename> entry, it may be qualified by
|
|
a logging specification (log level and optionally a log tag). The presence
|
|
of the log level/tag causes a modified series of rules to be generated in
|
|
which each packet/rule match within the action causes a log message to be
|
|
generated.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are three types of Shorewall actions:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Built-in Actions. These actions are known by the Shorewall code
|
|
itself. They are listed in the comments at the top of the file
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename>.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Standard Actions. These actions are released as part of
|
|
Shorewall. They are listed in the file
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std</filename> and are defined
|
|
in the corresponding action.* files in <filename
|
|
class="directory">/usr/share/shorewall</filename>. Each
|
|
<filename>action.*</filename> file has a comment at the beginning of
|
|
the file that describes what the action does. As an example, here is
|
|
the definition of the <firstterm>AllowSMB</firstterm> standard action
|
|
from Shorewall version 2.2.</para>

|
|
<programlisting>#

# both directions.

<title>Default Actions (Formerly Common Actions)</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall allows the association of a <firstterm>default
|
|
action</firstterm> with policies. A separate default action may be
|
|
associated with ACCEPT, DROP and REJECT policies. Default actions provide
|
|
a way to invoke a set of common rules just before the policy is enforced.
|
|
Default actions accomplish two goals:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Relieve log congestion. Default actions typically include rules
|
|
to silently drop or reject traffic that would otherwise be logged when
|
|
the policy is enforced.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Ensure correct operation. Default actions can also avoid common
|
|
pitfalls like dropping connection requests on port TCP port 113. If
|
|
these connections are dropped (rather than rejected) then you may
|
|
encounter problems connecting to internet services that utilize the
|
|
AUTH protocol of client authentication<footnote>
|
|
<para>AUTH is actually pretty silly on today's internet but it's
|
|
amazing how many servers still employ it.</para>
|
|
</footnote>.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall provides default actions for the REJECT and DROP policies.
|
|
The default action for REJECT is named <firstterm>Reject</firstterm> and
|
|
the default action for DROP is named <firstterm>Drop</firstterm>. These
|
|
associations are made through two entries in
|
|
/usr/share/shorewall/actions.std:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>Drop:DROP #Default Action for DROP policy
|
|
Reject:REJECT #Default Action for REJECT policy</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>These may be overridden by entries in your /etc/shorewall/actions
|
|
file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<warning>
|
|
<para>Entries in the DROP and REJECT default actions <emphasis
|

|

Remember — default actions are only invoked immediately before the

packet is going to be dropped or rejected anyway!!!</para>

<title>Defining your own Actions</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Before defining a new action, you should evaluate whether your goal
|
|
can be best accomplished using an action or a
|
|
<firstterm>macro</firstterm>. See <ulink url="Macros.html">this
|
|
article</ulink> for details.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To define a new action:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Add a line to
|
|
<filename><filename>/etc/shorewall/actions</filename></filename> that
|
|
names your new action. Action names must be valid shell variable names
|
|
((must begin with a letter and be composed of letters, digits and
|
|
underscore characters) as well as valid Netfilter chain names. If you
|
|
intend to log from the action, the name must have a maximum of 11
|
|
characters. It is recommended that the name you select for a new
|
|
action begins with a capital letter; that way, the name won't conflict
|
|
with a Shorewall-defined chain name.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The name of the action may be optionally followed by a colon
|
|
(<quote>:</quote>) and ACCEPT, DROP or REJECT. When this is done, the
|
|
named action will become the <emphasis>default action </emphasis>for
|
|
policies of type ACCEPT, DROP or REJECT respectively. The default
|
|
action is applied immediately before the policy is enforced (before
|
|
any logging is done under that policy) and is used mainly to suppress
|
|
logging of uninteresting traffic which would otherwise clog your logs.
|
|
The same policy name can appear in multiple actions; the last such
|
|
action for each policy name is the one which Shorewall will
|
|
use.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Shorewall includes pre-defined actions for DROP and REJECT --
|
|
see above.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Once you have defined your new action name (ActionName), then
|
|
copy /usr/share/shorewall/action.template to
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/action.ActionName</filename> (for example, if
|
|
your new action name is <quote>Foo</quote> then copy
|
|
<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/action.template</filename> to
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/action.Foo</filename>).</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|

<listitem>
|
|
<para>Now modify the new file to define the new action.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Columns in the action.template file are as follows:</para>
|
|

<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>TARGET - Must be ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG, CONTINUE, QUEUE or
|
|
<<emphasis>action</emphasis>> where
|
|
<<emphasis>action</emphasis>> is a previously-defined action
|
|
(that is, it must precede the action being defined in this file in
|
|
your <filename>/etc/shorewall/actions</filename> file). These actions
|
|
have the same meaning as they do in the
|
|
<filename>/etc/shorewall/rules</filename> file (CONTINUE terminates
|
|
processing of the current action and returns to the point where that
|
|
action was invoked). The TARGET may optionally be followed by a colon
|
|
(<quote>:</quote>) and a syslog log level (e.g, REJECT:info or
|
|
ACCEPT:debugging). This causes the packet to be logged at the
|
|
specified level. You may also specify ULOG (must be in upper case) as
|
|
a log level. This will log to the ULOG target for routing to a
|
|
separate log through use of ulogd (<ulink
|
|
url="http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html">http://www.netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html</ulink>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You may also use a <ulink url="Macros.html">macro</ulink> in
|
|
your action provided that the macro's expansion only results in the
|
|
ACTIONs ACCEPT, DROP, REJECT, LOG, CONTINUE, or QUEUE. See
|

<filename>/usr/share/shorewall/Drop</filename> for an example of an

action that users macros extensively.</para>

<para>Alternatively, clients may be specified by interface name. For

<para>There may be cases where you wish to create a chain with rules that
|
|
can't be constructed using the tools defined in the action.template. In
|
|
that case, you can use an extension script.<note>
|
|
<para>If you actually need an action to drop broadcast packets, use
|
|
the <command>dropBcast</command> standard action rather than create
|
|
one like this.</para>
