This version cleans up some warts found in Beta 1. If you are running Beta 1 and are not bothered by any of the problems, there is no real need to upgrade. I will appreciate feedback from Shorewall Lite users about the migration to Beta2; see item 3 below (there is also a "Migration Issue" item about that change in the release notes). Problems Corrected in 3.4.0 Beta 2 1) If ''blacklist'' was specified on an interface and the /etc/shorewall/blacklist file was empty, then the generated firewall script contained a syntax error (the function load_blacklist() was empty). 2) If the file /etc/shorewall/init did not exist, then the compiler would incorrectly copy /usr/share/shorewall/init into the compiled script. /usr/share/shorewall/init is a symbolic link to the Shorewall init script (usually /etc/init.d/shorewall). 3) To allow Shorewall and Shorewall Lite to coexist on a single system, the Shorewall section 5 manpages are no longer included in Shorewall Lite. In addition, the Shorewall Lite manpage for "shorewall.conf" has been renamed "shorewall-lite.conf". This has resulted in a similar change to the actual file -- /etc/shorewall-lite/shorewall.conf has been renamed /etc/shorewall-lite/shorewall-lite.conf. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, your existing file will be renamed. Those of you installing using the RPM will find the new file has been created as /etc/shorewall-lite/shorewall-lite.conf.rpmnew. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
