.SH "NAME"
vardir \- Shorewall Lite file
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

\fB/etc/shorewall\-lite/vardir\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This file does not exist by default\&. You may create the file if you want to change the directory used by Shorewall Lite to store state information, including compiled firewall scripts\&. By default, the directory used is
/var/lib/shorewall\-lite/\&.
.PP
The file contains a single variable assignment:
.PP
\fBVARDIR=\fR\fIdirectory\fR
.PP
where
\fIdirectory\fR
is the name of a directory\&. If you add this file, you should copy the files from
/var/lib/shorewall\-lite
to the new directory before performing a
\fBshorewall\-lite restart\fR\&.

.PP
Beginning with Shorewall 4\&.5\&.2, use of this file is deprecated in favor of specifying VARDIR in the
shorewallrc
file used during installation of Shorewall Core\&. While the name of the variable remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different\&. When set in shorewallrc, Shorewall Lite, will create a directory under the specified path name to hold state information\&.
.PP
Example:
.PP
VARDIR=/opt/var/lib/
.PP
The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be /opt/var/lib/shorewall\-lite/\&.
.PP
When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall\-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite will save its state in the
\fIdirectory\fR
specified\&.
