<para>It's a good idea to include the IP address of the

administrative system in the firewall system's <ulink

url="manpages/shorewall-routestopped.html"><filename>routestopped</filename>
|
|
file</ulink>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Also, edit the <filename>shorewall.conf</filename> file in the
|
|
firewall's export directory and change the CONFIG_PATH setting to
|
|
remove <filename class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename>. You
|
|
can replace it with <filename
|
|
class="directory">/usr/share/shorewall/configfiles</filename> if you
|
|
like.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example:</para>
|

|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<para>Before editing:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>CONFIG_PATH=/etc/shorewall:/usr/share/shorewall</programlisting>

<para>After editing:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>CONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/shorewall/configfiles:/usr/share/shorewall</programlisting>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para>Changing CONFIG_PATH will ensure that subsequent compilations
|
|
using the export directory will not include any files from <filename
|
|
class="directory">/etc/shorewall</filename> other than
|
|
<filename>shorewall.conf</filename> and

<para>If you set variables in the params file, there are a couple of
|
|
issues:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>params</filename> file is not processed at run
|
|
time if you set EXPORTPARAMS=No in
|
|
<filename>shorewall.conf</filename>. For run-time setting of shell
|
|
variables, use the <filename>init</filename> extension
|
|
script.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the <filename>params</filename> file needs to set shell
|
|
variables based on the configuration of the firewall system, you can
|
|
use this trick:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>EXT_IP=$(ssh root@firewall "/sbin/shorewall-lite call find_first_interface_address eth0")</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <command>shorewall-lite call</command> command allows you
|
|
to to call interactively any Shorewall function that you can call in
|
|
an extension script.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>After having made the above changes to the firewall's export
|
|
directory, execute the following commands.</para>
|

<blockquote>

<programlisting><command>cd <export directory></command>

<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 class="directory">/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="manpages/shorewall.conf.html">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>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <filename>capabilities</filename> file may also be creating
|
|
using <filename>/sbin/shorewall-lite</filename>:<blockquote>
|
|
<para><command>shorewall-lite show -f capabilities >
|
|
capabilities</command></para>
|
|
</blockquote></para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that unlike the <command>shorecap</command> program, the
|
|
<command>show capabilities</command> command shows the kernel's current

capabilities; it does not attempt to load additional kernel

modules.</para>
