Beta 2 is now available for testing. New features since Beta 1: 1) The 'conntrack', 'raw', 'mangle' and 'rules' files now support an IPTABLES (IP6TABLES) action. This action is similar to INLINE in that it allows arbitrary ip[6]tables matches to be specified after a semicolon (even when INLINE_MATCHES=No). It differs in that the parameter passed is an iptables target with target options. Example (rules file): #ACTION SOURCE DEST PROTO IPTABLES(TARPIT --honeypot) net pot If the particular target that you wish to use is unknown to Shorewall, you will get this error message: ERROR: Unknown TARGET (<target>) You can eliminate that error by adding your target as a builtin action in /etc/shoreawll[6]/actions. As part if this change, the /etc/shorewall[6]/actions file options have been extended to allow you to specify the Netfilter table(s) where the target is accepted. When 'builtin' is specified, you can also include the following options: filter nat mangle raw If no table is given, 'filter' is assumed for backward compatibility. 2) The 'tcpflags' option is now set by default. To disable the option, specify 'tcpflags=0' in the OPTIONS column of the interface file. 3) You may now use ipset names (preceded by '=') in PORT columns, allowing you to take advantage of bitmap:port ipsets. 4) The counter extensions to ipset matches have been implemented. See shorewall[6]-ipsets for details. 5) DROP is now a valid action in the stoppedrules files. DROP occurs in the raw table PREROUTING chain which avoids conntrack entry creation. -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
