NAME¶
vardir - Shorewall Lite file
SYNOPSIS¶
/etc/shorewall-lite/vardir
DESCRIPTION¶
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/.
The file contains a single variable assignment:
VARDIR=directory
where
directory 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
shorewall-lite restart.
Note
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.
Example:
VARDIR=/opt/var/lib/
The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be /opt/var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite will save its
state in the
directory specified.
EXAMPLE¶
VARDIR=/root/shorewall
