# ipmasq-modules(5)

configuration file used to set up IP Masquerading kernel modules

## NAME

ipmasq-modules - configuration file used to set up IP Masquerading kernel modules

## SYNOPSIS

**/etc/ipmasq/modules**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the configuration files used by the **ipmasq-kmod** command.

The **/etc/ipmasq/modules** configuration file utilizes a simple syntax.  Shell-script style comments are used (from a **#** to the end of line).  Remaining lines are directives to load a particular kernel module, one directive per line.  These directives are the names of the kernel modules to load (minus the *ip\_masq\_* prefix).  Any additional parameters are considered to be parameters to the kernel module.  The special directive **all** indicates that all  *ip\_masq\_\** modules in the **/lib/modules/\`uname -r\`/ipv4** directory will be loaded.  The **all** directive ends processing of the **/etc/ipmasq/modules** configuration file.

## FILES

*/etc/ipmasq/modules*

The configuration file whose format is defined here.

## BUGS

- Does not understand kernel 2.4 (netfilter) module naming.
