Shorewall parameters file

Usage

/etc/shorewall[6]/params

Overview

Assign any shell variables that you need in this file. The file is always processed by /bin/sh so the full range of shell capabilities may be used.

It is suggested that variable names begin with an upper case letter to distinguish them from variables used internally within the Shorewall programs

The following variable names must be avoided. Those in bold font must be avoided in all Shorewall versions; those in regular font must be avoided in versions prior to 4.4.8.

Any option from shorewall.conf[1]
