Early adopters have found a couple of problems in 3.4.0. The sub-directories
mentioned below may be found under
http://www1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/3.4/shorewall-3.4.0/.

1)  The fix for clearing proxy arp that was included in Shorewall 3.4.0
    was incomplete. To apply the rest of the fix, either:

    a) Replace /usr/share/shorewall/compiler with the
''compiler'' file
    from the errata/Shorewall sub-directory.

    or

    b) Patch /usr/share/shorewall/compiler with the
    ''patch-3.4.0-1.diff'' file from the errata/patches
sub-directory.

2)  If a log-prefix exceeds 29 characters, ''shorewall restart''
fails with
    ''truncate: command not found'' and a possible segmentation
fault in
    iptables.

    Either:

    a) Replace /usr/share/shorewall/lib.base and
    /usr/share/shorewall/lib.config with the ''lib.base'' and
    ''lib.config'' files from the errata/Shorewall
sub-directory.

    or

    b) Patch /usr/share/shorewall/lib.base and
    /usr/share/shorewall/lib.config with the
''patch-3.4.0-2.diff'' file
    from the errata/patches sub-directory.
