Shorewall 4.5.21.7 is now available for download. Problems corrected: 1) The help text for the 'dump' command has been updated to include all valid options. 2) The behavior of ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No is corrected. Previously, 'shorewall stop' would not block existing connections regardless of the setting of this option. Beginning with this release, the behavior of ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No depends on whether the routestopped or the stoppedrules file defines the allow connections while the firewall is stopped. If there are entries in /etc/shorewall[6]/routestopped or if there are no entries in /etc/shorewall[6]/stoppedrules, then the behavior of ADMINISABSENTMINDED=No is as documented (existing connections are blocked unles they are allowed by /etc/shorewall[6]/routestopped). If there are no entries in /etc/shorewall[6]/stoppedrules, then the behavior is as if ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes and a warning message is generated. Note to packagers: The release notes packaged with this release still have 4.5.21.6 in the heading. You may wish to patch those files before packaging for your distribution.
