NAME

       vardir - Shorewall Lite file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir

DESCRIPTION

       This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you want to change the
       directory used by Shorewall Lite to store state information, including compiled firewall
       scripts. By default, the directory used is /var/lib/shorewall-lite/.

       The file contains a single variable assignment:

       VARDIR=directory

       where directory is the name of a directory. If you add this file, you should copy the
       files from /var/lib/shorewall-lite to the new directory before performing a shorewall-lite
       restart.

           Note
           Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.2, use of this file is deprecated in favor of specifying
           VARDIR in the shorewallrc file used during installation of Shorewall Core. While the
           name of the variable remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different. When set in
           shorewallrc, Shorewall Lite, will create a directory under the specified path name to
           hold state information.

           Example:

           VARDIR=/opt/var/lib/

           The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be /opt/var/lib/shorewall-lite/.

           When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite will save its state
           in the directory specified.

EXAMPLE

       VARDIR=/root/shorewall
