Hi all, I''m working on a patch for shorewall to make it run with a Crossbeam X40 machine (www.crossbeamsystems.com) and I would like to know where to send it, is this list the correct location?. The patch is necesary because of Crossbeam X series running mode: when you make a shorewall start, restart or clear, there are a packet dropping until shorewall is Started or cleaned. At

Hi Tom and folks, There are some svn or cvs system for the shorewall-dev community?. If Tom want to leave the project for a while, maybe it will be necesary some cooperation system.

Hi all, I have found problems in p2p traffic detection. The ipp2p module works fine but in shorewall the rules written for this protocols never match because the initials p2p connection (login) match in ''-m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT'' rule before ''-m ipp2p --ipp2p -j DROP'' rule, so netfilter never filter p2p traffic. I have had to run

Hello I am looking for a way to have snort to dynamically update my shorewall config. I have seen software out there but I would like to see if anyone had tried this first. Aslo I would like to know if there is a way clear the Netfilter tables when I do a shorewall restart. The reason being is that when I make a change to my firewall setting I want all connections to have to re-establish

Although Shorewall provides safeguards against it, people seem to regularly shoot themselves in the foot when doing remote system administration. I''ve been thinking about this problem and wonder if a change to the way that "shorewall stop" behaves might help. Today, "shorewall stop" stops all traffic except to/from those destinations listed in

Hi folks, A while back we had some discussions about integrating heartbeat and shorewall. Thanks to your help and the excellent state of Linux failover clustering, i''ve managed to install my high-availability firewall. I know there''s already a howto for it at http://www.xenos.net/library/hafirewall.html, but i thought i would document my setup for others, since it''s

Hi! I am looking for suggestions how I can add rules (or change the configuration otherwise) without interrupting of services. Right now, when I need to do a ''shorewall restart'' all services are not available during this time. I tried playing with the ''routestopped'' parameter but without success. How do you get around this? Thanks in advance, Christian

Tom, I was upgrading a remote firewall, when upon restart, shorewall found a rule with a wrong zone and decided to not continue and stop itself. The problem now, is I cannot access that firewall over ssh anymore. One suggestion would be to instead of "shorewall stop" to have a basic emergency rule with only ACCEPT:info all all tcp ssh rule instead with DROP all policy. Shorewall could

Hi, I''ve noticed that if I have NIS enabled then shorewall will fail to start correctly as there is a brief time during startup (and restart) that the network is wholly disconnected causing NIS to object during RPC. The problem appears to be that during initialization and building of the chains the default is to allow existing connections and internal traffic to/from loopback,

The following is taken from the Release notes for 2.2.3 (which will be released in a month or so). 2) There has been ongoing confusion about how the /etc/shorewall/routestopped file works. People understand how it works with the ''shorewall stop'' command but when they read that ''shorewall restart'' is logically equivalent to ''shorewall

Hi all, http://www.hipac.org/index.htm I have just discovered this great project. It seems it surpasses standard netfilter in performance. The documentation states they are more or less compatible with standard netfilter, but anybody has tested if it is compatible with shorewall? Tom, have you?

hi all, i have a classic net topology with two local zone, a firewall/router with dsl connection loc1 (192.168.11.0/24) ----- fw ----- net loc2 (192.168.12.0/24) now on the local zone 1 (on a WinXP machine) i have installed OpenVPN 2.x to make a test connection with a company. OpenVPN is configured as client to use tun on udp port 10000 with ip 10.0.0.2, on the other

Hi all, I have seen Shorewall places the state verification rules (-m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED) as the first rule in a zone2zone chain. This means that state checking is done after all the rules involving from this zone to this zone. As you could have a lot of them, wont be better to place them just after checking the state is not invalid? This will mean a lot of packages will be

Rafa³ Dutko has just discovered a potentially serious bug in version 1.3.0 and 1.3.1. In both versions, where an interface option appears on multiple interfaces, the option may only be applied to the first interface on which it appears. A corrected firewall script for 1.3.1 is available at: http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.3.1/firewall and

Hi folks, Has anyone tested the changes to multiple ISPs/load balancing or routestopped in 2.4.0-RC1 yet? We need to talk about what criteria we will use for determining whether 2.4.0 is ready for release. I''ve started configuring a firewall at work with the multiple ISPs support, but its kernel doesn''t have connection marking support, so it''s going to be a couple of

Hello, I''ve "emerged" Shorewall 2.0.7 onto my Gentoo pc. Going through the 2 interface quickstart guide I download the 2.0.1 interface sample and untar it. "tar -zxvf two-interfaces.tgz" Maybe a dumb question but I can''t find anything on Google or the Shorewall mail archives that say anything about this. So I''m assuming its me. :P But the

Hello, First , thanks to Tom for it''s great job ! Netfilter is really easy and powerfull with shorewall. So, I have configured two firewalls whith shorewall using keepalived for the redundant VRRP stuff. FW-a is MASTER and FW-b is BACKUP. Everything works correctly and FW-b upgrade to MASTER when FW-a is down or disconnected. FW-b downgrade to BACKUP when FW-a comes back. But when I

Hi I have recently reconfigured my system to a Bridge based architecture on the basis that I have an ADSL Modem/Router with a Public address on the Wan side and a Private address on the Lan side. I am running a Debian based system kernel 2.6.7 and the Bridging software is installed and working correctly, including startup etc. The problem that I have is in "shorewall start" The
