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           Important
22           Beginning with Shorewall 5.2.3, the LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY option has
23           been removed and the behavior is the same as if
24           LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes was specified.
25
26       Each record in the files has the following format:
27
28       loadmodule modulename [moduleoption...]
29
30       The modulename names a kernel module (without suffix). Shorewall will
31       search for modules based on your MODULESDIR setting in
32       shorewall.conf[1](8). The moduleoptions are passed to modprobe (if
33       installed) or to insmod.
34
35       The /usr/share/shorewall/modules file contains a large number of
36       modules. Users are encouraged to copy the file to
37       /etc/shorewall/modules and modify the copy to load only the modules
38       required or to use LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes..if n .sp
39           Note
40           If you build monolithic kernels and have not installed
41           module-init-tools, then create an empty /etc/shorewall/modules
42           file; that will prevent Shorewall from trying to load modules at
43           all.
