Problems corrected in Shorewall 4.0.13.
1) When DYNAMIC_ZONES=Yes, certain configurations would produce an
invalid /var/lib/shorewall/chains file at run-time. The invalid file
contents resulted in errors during processing of the "shorewall
add"
command.
2) The 4.0.11 change which defers setting up ip forwarding until the
rules are in place did not handle the ''restore'' command
correctly.
So if ''-f'' is specified to the ''start''
command and there is a
saved configuration, the setting of ip forwarding will not be
changed.
Problems corrected in Shorewall-perl 4.0.13.
1) Previously, when the COPY column of /etc/shorewall/providers
contained one or more interface names, Shorewall-perl was not
adding the interface in the INTERFACE column to those interfaces
being copied. This has been corrected.
Known Problems Remaining.
1) The ''refresh'' command doesn''t refresh the mangle
table. So changes
made to /etc/shorewall/providers and/or /etc/shorewall/tcrules may
not be reflected in the running ruleset.
Other changes in Shorewall 4.0.13.
1) Beginning with Shorewall 4.0.0, the -f option was no longer the
default for ''/etc/init.d/shorewall start''. Beginning with
4.0.13,
this is also true for Shorewall-lite.
2) A macro supporting RNDC (BIND remote management protocol) traffic
has been added. It can be used as any other macro (e.g., RNDC/ACCEPT)
in the rules file.
