NAME

6       modules - Shorewall file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/share/shorewall[6]/modules
10
11       /usr/share/shorewall[6]/helpers
12

DESCRIPTION

14       These files specify which kernel modules Shorewall will load before
15       trying to determine your iptables/kernel's capabilities.
16
17       The modules file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=No in
18       shorewall.conf[1](8); the helpers file is used when
19       LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes
20
21       Each record in the files has the following format:
22
23       loadmodule modulename [moduleoption...]
24
25       The modulename names a kernel module (without suffix). Shorewall will
26       search for modules based on your MODULESDIR setting in
27       shorewall.conf[1](8). The moduleoptions are passed to modprobe (if
28       installed) or to insmod.
29
30       The /usr/share/shorewall/modules file contains a large number of
31       modules. Users are encouraged to copy the file to
32       /etc/shorewall/modules and modify the copy to load only the modules
33       required or to use LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes..if n .sp
34           Note
35           If you build monolithic kernels and have not installed
36           module-init-tools, then create an empty /etc/shorewall/modules
37           file; that will prevent Shorewall from trying to load modules at
38           all.
