Beta 4 is now available for testing (but the Shorewall home page on the
mirrors, including www.shorewall.net, still shows the current development
release as Beta 3):
Problems Corrected:
1) The Shorewall-lite and Shorewall6-lite Debian init scripts contained a
syntax error.
2) If the -v or -q options were used in /sbin/shorewall-lite or
/sbin/shorewall6-lite commands that involve the compiled firewall
script and the resulting effective VERBOSITY was > 2 or < -1, then
the command would fail.
3) The log reading commands (show log, logwatch, and dump) returned no
log records when run on one of the -lite products.
4) To avoid future confusion, the following obsolete options have been
deleted from the sample shorewall.conf files:
BRIDGING
DELAYBLACKLISTLOAD
PKTTYPE
They will still be recognized by the rules compiler.
5) Exclusion now works with ipset lists (+[...]). See shorewall-exclusion
(5).
New Features:
1) An ''scfilter'' extension script has been added. This
extension
script differs from other such scripts in that it is invoked by the
command line tools (/sbin/shorewall, /sbin/shorewall6,
/sbin/shorewall-lite and /sbin/shorewall6-lite).
The script acts as a filter for the output of the ''show
connections'' command. Each connection is piped through the filter
which can modify and/or drop information as desired.
Example:
#!/bin/sh
sed ''s/secmark=0 //''
That script will remove ''secmark=0 '' from each line.
The default script is:
#!/bin/sh
cat -
which passes the output through unmodified.
If you are using Shorewall-lite and/or Shorewall6-lite, the
scfilter file is kept on the administrative system. The compiler
encapsulates the script into a shell function that is copied
into the generated auxillary configuration file
(firewall.conf). That function is then invoked by the ''show
connections'' command.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
