## Description

The `policy.py` file is a Python module containing the zone and service definitions and other policy related settings used by `zorp(8)` . Empty lines and lines beginning with '#' are comments and are ignored.

The `policy.py` file is generated automatically by ZMC, the Zorp Management Console, or it can be edited manually.

IMPORTANT: Do not edit manually a file generated by ZMC, because the manual changes will not be retained by ZMC and will be lost when re-generating the file.

## Files

The default location of `policy.py` is `/etc/zorp/policy.py`.
