firehol-client(5)


NAME

   firehol-client - client command

SYNOPSIS

   { client | client46 } service action [rule-params]

   client4 service action [rule-params]

   client6 service action [rule-params]

DESCRIPTION

   The  client subcommand defines a client of a service on an interface or
   router.  Any rule-params given to a  parent  interface  or  router  are
   inherited by the client, but are reversed.

   For  FireHOL  a client is the source of a request.  Even though this is
   more complex for some multi-socket services, to FireHOL a client always
   initiates the connection.

   The  service  parameter  is  one  of  the  supported service names from
   firehol-services(5).   Multiple  services  may  be   specified,   space
   delimited in quotes.

   The action can be any of the actions listed in firehol-actions(5).

   The rule-params define a set of rule parameters to further restrict the
   traffic that is matched to this  service.   See  firehol-params(5)  for
   more details.

          Note

          Writing client4 is equivalent to writing ipv4 client and ensures
          this subcommand is applied only in the IPv4 firewall rules.

          Writing client6 is equivalent to writing ipv6 client and ensures
          this subcommand is applied only in the IPv6 firewall rules.

          Writing  client46  is  equivalent  to  writing  both client  and
          ensures this subcommand is applied in both  the  IPv4  and  IPv6
          firewall rules; it cannot be used as part an interface or router
          that is IPv4 or IPv6 only.

          The default client inherits its  behaviour  from  the  enclosing
          interface or router.

EXAMPLES

          client smtp accept

          client "smtp pop3" accept

          client smtp accept src 192.0.2.1

          client smtp accept log "mail packet" src 192.0.2.1
