Name
vardir — Shorewall Lite file
Synopsis
/etc/shorewall-lite/vardir
Description
This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you want to change the directory used by Shorewall Lite to store state
information, including compiled firewall scripts. By default, the
directory used is /var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
The file contains a single variable assignment:
VARDIR=directory
where directory is the name of a
directory. If you add this file, you should copy the files from
/var/lib/shorewall-lite to the new directory before
performing a shorewall-lite restart.
Note
Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.2, use of this file is deprecated in
favor of specifying VARDIR in the shorewallrc file
used during installation of Shorewall Core. While the name of the
variable remains VARDIR, the meaning is slightly different. When set in
shorewallrc, Shorewall Lite, will create a directory under the specified
path name to hold state information.
Example:
VARDIR=
/opt/var/lib/The state directory for Shorewall Lite will be /opt/var/lib/shorewall-lite/.
When VARDIR is set in /etc/shorewall-lite/vardir, Shorewall Lite
will save its state in the directory
specified.
