Hello!
I'm trying to completely understand the meaning of every bit of the port
knocking configuration. I've modified it quite a bit and it works
prefectly. My question is, though, what does the "--name" parameter do?
I've modified it to something different and it works fine, but I would
really like to know what it does and why I need it (and how my changes
might break things!).
It seems that if you look at them as "rules macros" and if your action fits
in a template they're easy to understand and well-documented. But I don't
see any real great documentation for actions that *don't* fit in a template
like port knocking. In fact, the port knocking example *is* the
documentation! (Imagine my surprise in trying to read all of the
documentation so that I can understand the port knocking setup only to be
told to refer to it as an example! :) ). I've tried to read as much
Shorewall documentation as I can but I don't see much infomration. Where
should I turn at this point? Would it be better to delve more deeply into
the raw iptables doc? I've looked in the iptables manpage for info, but it
doesn't seem to mention --name either...
