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.
