NAME¶
modules - Shorewall fileSYNOPSIS¶
/usr/share/shorewall/modules
/usr/share/shorewall/helpers
DESCRIPTION¶
These files specify which kernel modules Shorewall will load before trying to determine your iptables/kernel's capabilities.The modules file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=No in shorewall.conf[1](8); the helpers file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes
Each record in the files has the following format:
loadmodule modulename [moduleoption...]
The modulename names a kernel module (without suffix). Shorewall will search for modules based on your MODULESDIR and MODULE_SUFFIX settings in shorewall.conf[1](8). The moduleoptions are passed to modprobe (if installed) or to insmod.
The /usr/share/shorewall/modules file contains a large number of modules. Users are encouraged to copy the file to /etc/shorewall/modules and modify the copy to load only the modules required or to use LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=Yes..if n .sp
Note
If you build monolithic kernels and have not installed module-init-tools, then create an empty /etc/shorewall/modules file; that will prevent Shorewall from trying to load modules at all.
