[Shorewall-users] necessary config files? (was Re: help with rules / log entries)

[Edward C. <ec...@st...>]

Sorry about the incomplete info before.  I guess I should not assume =
that
you can read my mind or my configs...

I had started looking thru the FTP webpage you sent and noticed that =
when I
did an lsmod, I was missing the "ftp" modules that it spoke of.  I then
loaded them up by hand using the modprobe command.  And the ftp started =
to
work.  Further on down the page it spoke of the /etc/shorewall/modules =
file.
Once again here was a file that I was missing.

It seems that I'm running into problems due to the way the debian =
package
was put together.  As your own FAQ notes, by default, the /etc/shorewall
directory is empty.  Your notes state, "Simply copy the files you need =
from
that directory to /etc/shorewall and modify the copies."  This is what =
I've
been doing as I find that I need a file.  So far my /etc/shorewall =
directory
contains

techgw:~# ls /etc/shorewall
interfaces  masq  modules  policy  rules  shorewall.conf  zones

Should I just copy all from /usr/share/doc/shorewall/default-config to
/etc/shorewall?  (Obviously don't overwrite what I've already got.)  Had =
I
done this from the start, I wouldn't have asked the ftp question.

Thanks for your help so far.  This has been much easier than dealing
directly with iptables!!!

I administer our Checkpoint firewall here and normally work at the
Checkpoint object level.  Going down to the iptable level for this =
techroom
firewall was causing my brain to hurt.
