Shorewall users - May 2012 - Shorewall 4.5.3.1

Shorewall 4.5.3.1 is now available for download.

Problems Corrected:

1)  Previously, nested conditionals did not work correctly in all
     cases. In particular:

	?IF $FALSE
	    ?IF $FALSE
	       foo
	       bar
	    ?ENDIF
	    baz
	    bop
	?ENDIF

     In this case, the lines ''baz'' and ''bop''
were incorrectly included
     when they should have beeen omitted.

2)  The ''balance'' routing table is now cleared if there are no
     ''balance'' providers.

3)  Previously, the compiler generated an invalid ''ip add
route''
     command if an IPv6 provider had ''-'' in the GATEWAY
column.

4)  As noted in the Migration Considerations, the generated
     firewall script maintains the interface .status files used by LSM
     and SWPING. Up to now, however, the ''disable'' command did
not
     update the .status file. That has been corrected. As part of the
     change, the ''isusable'' script is no longer consulted by
the
     ''enable'' command.

5)  The configure and configure.pl scripts have not been outputting the
     setting of SPARSE, with the result that /etc/shorewall and
     /etc/shorewall6 are fully-populated on Debian systems. This has
     been corrected.

     For Debian users that want to remove the extra files from
     /etc/shorewall (/etc/shorewall6), the following script will
     do the job (replace ''shorewall'' by
''shorewall6'' to clean
     /etc/shorewall6):

        #!/bin/sh

        cd /etc/shorewall

        for f in *; do
        	   [ -f /usr/share/shorewall/configfiles/$f ] && \
	   diff -q $f /usr/share/shorewall/configfiles/$f > /dev/null \
        	   && rm $f;
       done

     Once you have done that, edit ~/.shorewallrc and add

     	 SPARSE=Yes

     to the settings in that file.

Thank you for using Shorewall,
-Tom
