NAME
modules - shorewall6 file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/share/shorewall6/modules
/usr/share/shorewall6/helpers
DESCRIPTION
These files specify which kernel modules shorewall6 will load before
trying to determine your ip6tables/kernel's capabilities. The modules
file is used when LOAD_HELPERS_ONLY=No in shorewall6.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). shorewall6 will
search for modules based on your MODULESDIR and MODULE_SUFFIX settings
in shorewall6.conf[1](8). The moduleoptions are passed to modprobe (if
installed) or to insmod.
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 .sp
Note
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.
EXAMPLE
loadmodule ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,221
