NETSCRIPT.CONF(5)

💖 NETSCRIPT.CONF(5) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the File Formats Manual section, and it's about net-script's config files. it's short. it's humble. it's giving "placeholder era." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

• /etc/netscript/network.conf — the firewalling configuration file, no cap 🔥
• /etc/netscript/ipfilter.conf — the IP iptables filtering shell script file 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: this manpage is literally a place holder until something better gets written, and that's not happening while the netscript itself is still changing rapidly. it's giving "we'll fix it later" energy 😭 iconic honestly.

pls go read the README file in the /etc/netscript directory, and READ the configuration files yourself if you need to change them. like actually read them. not skim. 👀

so here's the tea: apart from network.conf, all of them contain sh(1) shell script functions, and those are there so that various things can be altered or hooked in at the right place. little hook slots, if you will. 💖

and Network.conf? she's the main character 👑 she contains:

• the various firewall helper chain set up settings 🧚
• control of kernel packet forwarding for IPv4 and IPv6 🌈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• netscript(8)
• iptables(8)
• ip6tables(8)
