Beta 3 is now available for testing.
Changes since Beta 2 include:
1) Merged fix from 4.5.10.1.
2) The Actions webpage (http://www1.shorewall.net/Actions.html) has
been reorganized.
3) This release introduces user-defined address variables. Address
variables are used at run-time rather than at compile-time. Prior
to this release, two types of address variables were available:
&<interface> Expands to the primary IP address of
<interface>
%<interface> Expands to the IP address of the default
gateway out of <interface>
The two new types added in this release are distinguished by the
use of "{....}".
&{<variable>} Address contained in run-time variable
<variable>. The named shell variable must
contain a valid IP address, either from the
generated script''s environment or from being
set in the generated script''s ''init'' extension
script. If the variable is empty or if its
contents are not a valid IP address, an error
is raised and the state of the firewall is not
changed.
%{<variable>} Address contained in run-time variable
<variable>. If the named variable is empty,
the generated script sets it to the all-zeros
address (0.0.0.0 in IPv4 and :: in IPv6). When
this variable appears in a SOURCE or
DESTINATION column of any configuration file,
or if it appears in the ADDRESSES column of
the masq file, then no rule is generated when
the address variable is empty. Otherwise, the
rule is generated with the all-zeros address
replacing the variable. As above, if the
variable is non-empty and if it does not
contain a valid IP address, an error is raised
and the firewall state is unchanged.
Thank you for testing,
