.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
These files specify which kernel modules shorewall6 will load before trying to determine your ip6tables/kernel\*(Aqs capabilities\&. The
modules
file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=No in
\m[blue]\fBshorewall6\&.conf\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2(5); the
helpers
file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes\&.
.PP
Each record in the files has the following format:
.HP \w'\fBloadmodule\fR\ 'u
\fBloadmodule\fR \fImodulename\fR [\fImoduleoption\fR...]
.PP
The
\fImodulename\fR
names a kernel module (without suffix)\&. shorewall6 will search for modules based on your MODULESDIR and MODULE_SUFFIX settings in
\m[blue]\fBshorewall6\&.conf\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2(5)\&. The
\fImoduleoption\fRs are passed to modprobe (if installed) or to insmod\&.
.PP
The /usr/share/shorewall6/modules file contains a large number of modules\&. Users are encouraged to copy the file to /etc/shorewall6/modules and modify the copy to load only the modules required or use LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes\&..if n \{\

.PP
If you build monolithic kernels and have not installed module\-init\-tools, then create an empty /etc/shorewall6/modules file; that will prevent shorewall6 from trying to load modules at all\&.
