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. + + + http://shorewall.net/Documentation_Index.html + shorewall + + + Adds the capability to place the firewall in a safe state prior to bringing up the network interfaces + Installs everything needed to create a full IPv4 firewall + Adds the capability to create a full IPv6 firewall (requires net-firewall/shorewall[ipv4]) + Installs everything needed to just *run* an IPv4 compiled firewall script created with net-firewall/shorewall[ipv4] + Installs everything needed to just *run* an IPv6 compiled firewall script created with net-firewall/shorewall[ipv6] + -- cgit v1.2.3-65-gdbad
