okay bestie, so this is a System Manager's Manual page for shield-trigger-iptables, and yes it's the whole manual β section 8, admin tools, we love a system-manager moment π
β¨ NAME β¨
shield-trigger-iptables β the little program that hangs out with the pam_shield PAM module and handles the ip blocking for it π‘οΈβ¨
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
shield-trigger-iptables [add|del] <IP number>
that's it, that's the whole vibe check. no cap. π«Ά
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so basically this program is the one that manages the ip blocks for the pam_shield PAM module. it's giving dedicated little helper energy, and honestly? iconic.
and like, shield-trigger-iptables is normally called by the pam_shield PAM module itself β not you, not your group chat, the module. it just does its thing in the background while you live your life π
lowkey main character energy for a trigger script.
