NAME

       mason - interactively create a firewall

SYNOPSIS

       mason < logfile > rulefile

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly documents the mason command.

       mason interactively generates a set of firewall rules for a Linux-based firewall.  This is done by turning on full IP logging, watching the
       logs for connections, and generating rules describing the connections seen.  mason is familiar with most of the quirks of  various  connec-
       tion types (such as ftp and IRC), and can output rules for 2.0.x ipfwadm, 2.2.x ipchains, and Cisco packet filters.

       mason  operates by reading in log file information from standard input and writing firewall rules to standard output.  This allows mason to
       work offline or on a separate system.  Real-time firewall generation can be achieved with a command like tail(1).

       Most users will want to run mason with a user-friendly interface such as mason-gui-text(1).

ENVIRONMENT

       mason is configured using the following environment variables.

       ECHOCOMMAND
	      Sets the type of firewall rules that mason should output to standard out.  Allowed values  include  "ipfwadm"  and  "ipchains".	By
	      default, mason outputs whatever kind of rules are supported by the currently running Linux kernel.

       DOCOMMAND
	      Sets  the  type  of firewall rules that mason should run immediately when a rule is generated.  Allowed values include "ipfwadm" and
	      "ipchains".  By default, mason outputs whatever kind of rules are supported by the currently running Linux kernel.

       HEARTBEAT
	      If set to "yes", mason will output a "+" or "-" to standard error whenever a rule generated by mason has been triggered.

       DYNIP  Set this to the list of interfaces that have dynamically assigned addresses, separated by spaces.

NAME

       Text::MicroMason::PostProcess - Apply Filters to All Template Output

SYNOPSIS

       Instead of using this class directly, pass its name to be mixed in:

	   use Text::MicroMason;
	   my $mason = Text::MicroMason->new( -PostProcess );

       Use the standard compile and execute methods to parse and evalute templates:

	 print $mason->compile( text=>$template )->( @%args );
	 print $mason->execute( text=>$template, @args );

       You can define output filters at creation or subsequently:

	   $mason = Text::MicroMason->new( -PostProcess, post_process => $func );

	   $mason->post_processors( $func );

	   $mason->compile( text => $template, post_process => $func );

	   $mason->execute( text => $template, { post_process => $func }, @args );

DESCRIPTION

       This mixin class adds filtering of all template output to any MicroMason class.

       Filter functions can accept the string to be output and return a filtered version:

	 $mason->post_process( sub {
	   my $foo = shift;
	   $foo =~ s/a-Z/A-Z/;
	   return $foo;
	 } );

       If a filter function has an empty prototype, it's assumed to work on $_:

	 $mason->post_process( sub () {
	   s/a-Z/A-Z/
	 } );

   Public Methods
       post_processors()
	   Gets and sets the functions to be used for output filtering.

	   Called with no arguments, returns the list of filter functions:

	     my @functions = $mason->post_processors();

	   Called with one array-ref argument, sets the list of filter functions:

	     $mason->post_processors( @functions );

	   Called with one or more function-ref arguments, appends to the list:

	     $mason->post_processors( $filter1, $filter2 );

   Supported Attributes
       post_process
	   Stores a reference to a function or an array of functions to be used:

	     $mason->{post_process} = $function;
	     $mason->{post_process} = [ $function1, $function2 ];

	   You can set this attribute when you create your mason object, or in calls to the compile and execute methods.

   Private Methods
       post_process()
	     $mason->post_process( $output ) : $filtered_output

	   Applies the post-processing filter.
