NAME
notrack - shorewall notrack file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall/notrack
DESCRIPTION
The notrack file is used to exempt certain traffic from Netfilter
connection tracking. Traffic matching entries in this file will not be
tracked.
The columns in the file are as follows.
SOURCE – {zone[:interface][:address-list]|COMMENT}
where zone is the name of a zone, interface is an interface to that
zone, and address-list is a comma-separated list of addresses (may
contain exclusion - see shorewall-exclusion[1] (5)).
Comments may be attached to Netfilter rules generated from entries
in this file through the use of COMMENT lines. These lines begin
with the word COMMENT; the remainder of the line is treated as a
comment which is attached to subsequent rules until another COMMENT
line is found or until the end of the file is reached. To stop
adding comments to rules, use a line with only the word COMMENT.
DEST – [interface|address-list]
where interface is the name of a network interface and address-list
is a comma-separated list of addresses (may contain exclusion - see
shorewall-exclusion[1] (5)). If an interface is given:
· It must be up and configured with an IPv4 address when
Shorewall is started or restarted.
· All routes out of the interface must be configured when
Shorewall is started or restarted.
· Default routes out of the interface will result in a warning
message and will be ignored.
These restrictions are because Netfilter doesn't support NOTRACK
rules that specify a destination interface (these rules are applied
before packets are routed and hence the destination interface is
unknown). Shorewall uses the routes out of the interface to replace
the interface with an address list corresponding to the networks
routed out of the named interface.
PROTO – protocol-name-or-number
A protocol name from /etc/protocols or a protocol number.
DEST PORT(S) - port-number/service-name-list
A comma-separated list of port numbers and/or service names from
/etc/services. May also include port ranges of the form
low-port:high-port if your kernel and iptables include port range
support.
SOURCE PORT(S) - port-number/service-name-list
A comma-separated list of port numbers and/or service names from
/etc/services. May also include port ranges of the form
low-port:high-port if your kernel and iptables include port range
support.
USER/GROUP – [user][:group]
May only be specified if the SOURCE zone is $FW. Specifies the
effective user id and or group id of the process sending the
traffic.
