NAME
modules - Shorewall file
SYNOPSIS
/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.
EXAMPLE
loadmodule ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,221
