Shorewall 4.5.21.7 is now available for download.
Problems corrected:
1) The help text for the 'dump' command has been updated to include
all valid options.
2) The behavior of ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No is corrected. Previously,
'shorewall stop' would not block existing connections regardless of
the setting of this option. Beginning with this release, the
behavior of ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No depends on whether the
routestopped or the stoppedrules file defines the allow connections
while the firewall is stopped.
If there are entries in /etc/shorewall[6]/routestopped or if there
are no entries in /etc/shorewall[6]/stoppedrules, then the behavior
of ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No is as documented (existing connections
are blocked unles they are allowed by
/etc/shorewall[6]/routestopped). If there are no entries in
/etc/shorewall[6]/stoppedrules, then the behavior is as if
ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes and a warning message is generated.
Note to packagers: The release notes packaged with this release still
have 4.5.21.6 in the heading. You may wish to patch those files before
packaging for your distribution.
Thank you for using Shorewall,
-Tom
