NAME

6       vardir - Shorewall Lite file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you
13       want to change the directory used by Shorewall Lite to store state
14       information, including compiled firewall scripts. By default, the
15       directory used is /var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
16
17       The file contains a single variable assignment:
18
19       VARDIR=directory
20
21       where directory is the name of a directory. If you add this file, you
22       should copy the files from /var/lib/shorewall-lite to the new directory
23       before performing a shorewall-lite restart.
24
25           Note
26           Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.2, use of this file is deprecated in
27           favor of specifying VARDIR in the shorewallrc file used during
28           installation of Shorewall Core. While the name of the variable
29           remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different. When set in
30           shorewallrc, Shorewall Lite, will create a directory under the
31           specified path name to hold state information.
32
33           Example:
34
35           VARDIR=/opt/var/lib/
36
37           The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be
38           /opt/var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
39
40           When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite
41           will save its state in the directory specified.
