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.

EXAMPLE

       VARDIR=/root/shorewall
