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(5);
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(5). 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.
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.
