Shorewall does not use Netfilter's ipchains compatibility mode and can thus + take advantage of Netfilter's connection state tracking capabilities. + + Shorewall is not a daemon. Once Shorewall has configured the Linux networking subsystem, its job is complete and + there is no "Shorewall process" left running in your system. The /usr/sbin/shorewall program can be used at + any time to monitor the Netfilter firewall. + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <doc lang="en">http://shorewall.net/Documentation_Index.html</doc> + <remote-id type="sourceforge">shorewall</remote-id> + </upstream> + <use> + <flag name="init">Adds the capability to place the firewall in a safe state prior to bringing up the network interfaces</flag> + <flag name="ipv4">Installs everything needed to create a full IPv4 firewall</flag> + <flag name="ipv6">Adds the capability to create a full IPv6 firewall (requires <pkg>net-firewall/shorewall[ipv4]</pkg>)</flag> + <flag name="lite4">Installs everything needed to just *run* an IPv4 compiled firewall script created with <pkg>net-firewall/shorewall[ipv4]</pkg></flag> + <flag name="lite6">Installs everything needed to just *run* an IPv6 compiled firewall script created with <pkg>net-firewall/shorewall[ipv6]</pkg></flag> + </use> </pkgmetadata>
