Shorewall announce - Aug 2004 - Shorewall 2.1.3

This version includes my first cut at IPSEC support for 2.6 Kernels with 
the new policy match facility. That facility must be installed using 
patch-o-matic-ng as described on the Netfilter site. I''m anticipating 
that the facility will be part of standard kernels by the time that 
Shorewall 2.1 is released.

Since I don''t have an IPSEC tunnel to test this support with, the code 
is largely untested. If any of you should give it a try, please keep us 
informed of the results (both good and bad).

Thanks,
-Tom

PS -- I built the RPM under SuSE 9.1 so the little bit of documentation 
that is included in that package will be installed in 
/usr/share/doc/packages rather than /usr/share/doc.

If you run SuSE 9.1, the latest kernel and iptables updates contain the 
above support.
