NAME

6       shorewall6-lite.conf - Shorewall6 Lite global configuration file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/shorewall6-lite/shorewall6-lite.conf
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This file sets options that apply to Shorewall6 Lite as a whole.
13
14       The file consists of Shell comments (lines beginning with '#'), blank
15       lines and assignment statements (variable=value). Each variable's
16       setting is preceded by comments that describe the variable and it's
17       effect.
18
19       Any option not specified in this file gets its value from the
20       shorewall6.conf file used during compilation of
21       /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/firewall. Those settings may be found in the
22       file /var/lib/shorewall6-lite/firewall.conf.
23

OPTIONS

25       The following options may be set in shorewall6.conf.
26
27       IP6TABLES=[pathname]
28           This parameter names the ip6tables executable to be used by
29           Shorewall6. If not specified or if specified as a null value, then
30           the ip6tables executable located using the PATH option is used.
31
32       LOGFILE=[pathname]
33           This parameter tells the /sbin/shorewall6 program where to look for
34           Shorewall6 messages when processing the dump, logwatch, show log,
35           and hits commands. If not assigned or if assigned an empty value,
36           /var/log/messages is assumed.
37
38       LOGFORMAT=["formattemplate"]
39           The value of this variable generate the --log-prefix setting for
40           Shorewall6 logging rules. It contains a “printf” formatting
41           template which accepts three arguments (the chain name, logging
42           rule number (optional) and the disposition). To use LOGFORMAT with
43           fireparse, set it as:
44
45                   LOGFORMAT="fp=%s:%d a=%s "
46
47           If the LOGFORMAT value contains the substring “%d” then the logging
48           rule number is calculated and formatted in that position; if that
49           substring is not included then the rule number is not included. If
50           not supplied or supplied as empty (LOGFORMAT="") then
51           “Shorewall6:%s:%s:” is assumed.
52
53       PATH=pathname[:pathname]...
54           Determines the order in which Shorewall6 searches directories for
55           executable files.
56
57       RESTOREFILE=[filename]
58           Specifies the simple name of a file in /var/lib/shorewall6 to be
59           used as the default restore script in the shorewall6 save,
60           shorewall6 restore, shorewall6 forget and shorewall6 -f start
61           commands.
62
63       SHOREWALL_SHELL=[pathname]
64           This option is used to specify the shell program to be used to
65           interpret the compiled script. If not specified or specified as a
66           null value, /bin/sh is assumed. Using a light-weight shell such as
67           ash or dash can significantly improve performance.
68
69       SUBSYSLOCK=[pathname]
70           This parameter should be set to the name of a file that the
71           firewall should create if it starts successfully and remove when it
72           stops. Creating and removing this file allows Shorewall6 to work
73           with your distribution's initscripts. For RedHat, this should be
74           set to /var/lock/subsys/shorewall6. For Debian, the value is
75           /var/state/shorewall6 and in LEAF it is /var/run/shorewall.
76
77       VERBOSITY=[number]
78           Shorewall6 has traditionally been very noisy (produced lots of
79           output). You may set the default level of verbosity using the
80           VERBOSITY OPTION.
81
82           Values are:
83               0 - Silent. You may make it more verbose using the -v
84                           option
85               1 - Major progress messages displayed
86               2 - All progress messages displayed (old default
87                           behavior)
88           If not specified, then 2 is assumed.
