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