DESCRIPTION

Beginning with Shorewall 5.1.0, the shorewall utility is used to control the Shoreline Firewall (Shorewall), Shorewall Firewall 6 (Shorewall6), Shorewall Firewall Lite (Shorewall-lite) and Shorewall Firewall 6 Lite (Shorewall6-lite). The utility may be accessed under four different names:

shorewall

Controls the Shorewall configuration when Shorewall is installed. If Shorewall is not installed, the shorewall command controls Shorewall-lite if it is installed. If neither Shorewall nor Shorewall-lite is installed, the shorewall command controls Shorewall6-lite if it is installed.

shorewall6

The shorewall6 command controls Shorewall6 when Shorewall6 is installed.

shorewall-lite

The shorewall-lite command controls Shorewall-lite when Shorewall-lite is installed.

shorewall6-lite

The shorewall6-lite command controls Shorewall6-lite when Shorewall6-lite is installed.

Prior to Shorewall 5.1.0, these four commands were implemented as four separate program, each of which controlled only a single firewall package. This manpage serves to document both the Shorewall 5.1 and Shorewall 5.0 CLI.  

OPTIONS

The trace and debug options are used for debugging. See m[blue]http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm#Tracem[][1].

The nolock option prevents the command from attempting to acquire the Shorewall lockfile. It is useful if you need to include shorewall commands in /etc/shorewall/started.

Other options are:

-4

Added in Shorewall 5.1.0. Causes the command to operate on the Shorewall configuration or the Shorewall-lite configuration. It is the default when either of those products is installed and when the command is shorewall or shorewall-lite.

-6

Added in Shorewall 5.1.0. Causes the command to operate on the Shorewall6 or Shorewall6-lite configuration. It is the default when only Shorewall6-lite is installed and when the command is shorewall6 or
