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
