10/30/2003 - Shorewall 1.4.8 RC1 Given the small number of new features and the relatively few lines of code that were changed, there will be no Beta for 1.4.8. I am particularly interested in people testing: a) The interface to ''ftwall'' b) Handling of <zone>_frwd chains (those of you who had problems with 1.4.7b or that have reported extra rules in these chains). http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta ftp://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta Problems Corrected since version 1.4.7: 1. Tuomo Soini has supplied a correction to a problem that occurs...

...was left in an inconsistent state. Error: Unable to determine the routes through interface xxx 4) Handling of the LOGUNCLEAN option in shorewall.conf has been corrected. 5) In Shorewall 1.4.2, an optimization was added. This optimization involved creating a chain named "<zone>_frwd" for most zones defined using the /etc/shorewall/hosts file. It has since been discovered that in many cases these new chains contain redundant rules and that the "optimization" turns out to be less than optimal. The implementation has now been corrected. 6) When the MAR...

This fixes the problem in 1.4.7a where <zone>_frwd chains are missing required rules. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net

Shorewall 1.4.7c is now available and continues the saga with "<zone>_frwd" chains. My apologies for this mess.... -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
