Shorewall announce - Jan 2005 - Shorewall 2.2.0 RC5

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I''m hoping that this will be the last RC and that I can release 2.2.0
on
February 1. I appreciate your help in testing this RC.

Problems Corrected:

   1. The AllowTrcrt action has been changed to allow up to 30 hops
(same as default for ''traceroute''). Previously, the action was
documented as allowing 20 hops but actually only allowed for 6 hops.
   2. Using some lightweight shells, valid entries in /etc/shorewall/ecn
produce startup errors.

New Features:

   1. A new AllowInvalid standard built-in action has been added. This
action accepts packets that are in the INVALID connection-tracking state.
