NAME

       firehol-client - client command

SYNOPSIS

       { client | client46 } service action [rule-params]

       client4 service action [rule-params]

       client6 service action [rule-params]

DESCRIPTION

       The  client subcommand defines a client of a service on an interface or router.  Any rule-params given to
       a parent interface or router are inherited by the client, but are reversed.

       For FireHOL a client is the source of a request.  Even though this is more complex for some  multi-socket
       services, to FireHOL a client always initiates the connection.

       The  service parameter is one of the supported service names from firehol-services(5).  Multiple services
       may be specified, space delimited in quotes.

       The action can be any of the actions listed in firehol-actions(5).

       The rule-params define a set of rule parameters to further restrict the traffic that is matched  to  this
       service.  See firehol-params(5) for more details.

              Note

              Writing  client4  is equivalent to writing ipv4 client and ensures this subcommand is applied only
              in the IPv4 firewall rules.

              Writing client6 is equivalent to writing ipv6 client and ensures this subcommand is  applied  only
              in the IPv6 firewall rules.

              Writing  client46  is  equivalent to writing both client and ensures this subcommand is applied in
              both the IPv4 and IPv6 firewall rules; it cannot be used as part an interface or  router  that  is
              IPv4 or IPv6 only.

              The default client inherits its behaviour from the enclosing interface or router.

EXAMPLES

              client smtp accept

              client "smtp pop3" accept

              client smtp accept src 192.0.2.1

              client smtp accept log "mail packet" src 192.0.2.1
