Problems Corrected: 1) A problem seen on RH7.3 systems where Shorewall encountered start errors when started using the "service" mechanism has been worked around. New Features: 1) A ''newnotsyn'' interface option has been added. This option may be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and overrides the setting NEWNOTSYN=No for packets arriving on the associated interface. 2) The means for specifying a range of IP addresses in /etc/shorewall/masq to use for SNAT is now documented. ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes is enabled for address ranges. 3) Shorewall can now add IP addresses to subnets other than the first one on an interface. 4) DNAT[-] rules may now be used to round-robin over a set of servers. Up to 256 servers may be specified in a range of addresses given as <first address>-<last address>. Example: DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp 80 I believe that this version corrects problems seen with the previous snapsnot on older and stripped down shells such as ash. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall - iptables made easy Shoreline, \ http://www.shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net
