The 2.6 kernel series includes Netfilter ''physdev'' match support. That support makes it feasible for Shorewall to support bridge/firewall configurations. I''m looking for early testers of such support. Requirements: a) Willing to run Shorewall 2.0.0-RC1 or later (RC1 will be released in a day or so) plus private updates. b) Running a 2.6 kernel or a 2.4 kernel with physdev match support added. c) Willing to devote enough time to help develop and debug the Shorewall bridge code. Also willing to put up with the instability associated with alpha-level software. The current version of the code supports: 1. Defining a zone in terms of a bridged interface. 2. Allowing ''maclist'' verification on traffic from a bridged interface. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net

Tom:
I am willing to provide what ever assistance I can. I run SuSE 9.0
with kernel 2.4.25, iptables 1.2.9, and bridge-utils 0.9.6. I have just
patched the kernel for ''physdev'' match support. The kernel
will be loaded
onto a PC that I use for testing firewall software, so instability will not
be a problem. This PC currently has three nic cards, though a fourth could be
added for testing purposes if needed.
I have not included support for ebtables in the kernel. If this is required,
would you let me know.
Regards
Steven.

Tom,
This may fall into a project I am building for the Boys and Girls club.
I current have shorewall running in their club there and have had for a
couple of years.
They have two locations, one being the club and the other the admin
office. (Admin office 5 miles away)
Right now they have seperate networks independant from each other.
We need to connect the two buildings now to run a Microsoft Small business
server (Premium with ISA and SQL)
They have a T-1 at the club and ADSL at the admin office. I need a VPN
between the two.
The only bridgeing I have done is with the cisco 675 . And that was I while
ago.
I donate everything I do for them. So would your new firewall and
bridgeing these
two different networks together fit the bill. I think they would be happy to
let us test in their networks.
Mike
