shorewall-modules(5)

NAME

modules - Shorewall file

SYNOPSIS

/usr/share/shorewall/modules

DESCRIPTION

This file specifies which kernel modules Shorewall will load before
trying to determine your iptables/kernel's capabilities. Each record in the file has the following format:

loadmodule modulename [moduleoption...]

The modulename names a kernel module (without suffix). Shorewall will search for modules based on your MODULESDIR and MODULE_SUFFIX settings in shorewall.conf[1](8). The moduleoptions are passed to modprobe (if installed) or to insmod.

The /usr/share/shorewall/modules file contains a large number of
modules. Users are encouraged to copy the file to
/etc/shorewall/modules and modify the copy to load only the modules
required..sp
Note
If you build monolithic kernels and have not installed
module-init-tools, then create an empty /etc/shorewall/modules file;
that will prevent Shorewall from trying to load modules at all.

EXAMPLE

loadmodule ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,221
