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

The ''firewall'' and ''functions'' file in CVS together produce a 30%+ speedup of ''shorewall restart'' on my firewall when compared to 1.3.11a. Please test with these files -- I don''t anticipate making any more performance changes for 1.3.12 and I want to be sure that I didn''t break anything. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Shorewall

Shorewall 1.3.9 is available. In this release: 1. DNS Names are now allowed in Shorewall config files (I still recommend against using them however). 2. The connection SOURCE may now be qualified by both interface and IP address in a Shorewall rule. 3. Shorewall startup is now disabled after initial installation until the file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled is removed. 4. The

Hi, I installed the shorewall 1.3.8-2 debian package to my debian testing machine which serves as the gateway to the internet. Since I have two other machine connect to internet thru this gateway machine, I also downloaded the configuration guide for "basic two-interface firewall" and followed the instructions. When I try to start the shorewall I get the following message and can not

This will be the last Shorewall release for a while as I''m going to be focusing on Documentation. In this release: 1. Empty and invalid source and destination qualifiers are now detected in the rules file. It is a good idea to use the ''shorewall check'' command before you issue a ''shorewall restart'' command be be sure that you don''t

Hi! I have a Linux shorewall firewall that is the default gw of the network. I want to redirect all localy originating traffic to port 80 into another machine on port 8002 into the local network. This machine is a WIN2000 machine running a commercial software (proxy, content filtering) that only runs into Windows... :-( I tried something like this but this doesn''t seem to work: local

I have purchased a license for Vexira MailArmor (an antivirus product) and the good news is that it is installed and working at shorewall.net. The bad news is that I have yet to get Vexira running together with SpamAssassin :-( As things currently stand, list posts will be protected from viruses but may contain Spam. I''ll continue to work to correct this situation. -Tom -- Tom Eastep

The ''firewall'' script currently in the /Shorewall CVS project: a) Is approximately 15% faster starting/restarting on my configuration -- please report your experiences with it. b) Reloads Traffic Control/Shaping as part of "shorewall refresh" c) Turns off the shell trace after an error has occured (except when the command being traced is "stop" or

This is a minor release of Shorewall. In this release: 1. A "shorewall try" command has been added. This command attempts to restart Shorewall using an alternate configuration and if that attempt fails, Shorewall is automatically started with the default configuration. This is useful for remote administration where a failed restart of Shorewall can leave you isolated from

Hello, on my old system I''m using ipchains. Can anyone help me with converting rule /sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s source_addr -d destination_addr 443 -p tcp to shorewall. I know that I can write eth0 source_addr to /etc/shorewall/masq file but I can''t found where I can specify the destination address. The reason for this is to allow one user (computer) access only to

Hello all, i am new to shorewall and i already have a question ;) i am running a mailserver in my dmz (or actually this will be when = evertything will be working fine with shorewall) with public ip = addresses.. i have a subnet of 8 ip addresses (255.255.255.248 mask) and = i was planning of the classic 3 nic (eth0-2) setup... the dmz should = work with proxy-arping...=20 now my quesion is

I have implemented the ability to specify ''all'' in the SOURCE and DESTINATION columns of the rules file and I''m not sure I like the result. The code is in CVS if any of you are interested in giving it a try. If you do try it, please let me know what you think. If you specify ''all'' in those columns it must not be qualified (may not be followed by

I am trying to move from MS Windows (of which I am a std user) to Linux and, 10 days ago, I installed Mandrake 9.0, everything is OK except for WEB navigation: even if surely connected, I cannot navigate and the browser answer is always:...host unknown.. Apparently the problem is the firewall (Shorewall) installed by default that rejects all comunication, infact looking in the Firewall settings

The 1.2 firewall contains messy logic to support the old sample configurations in that any rule that contains "none" in any of its columns is ignored. I''m considering removing that messiness in 1.3 and seek the opinion of the list.

I think that the time has come for me to back off a bit from my involvement with Shorewall. I just don''t have enough cycles (or energy) to keep up the pace of the last several months. As a consequence, I''m going to do the following: 1. I''m going to stop personally supporting the entry level tools (samples and quick start guide). These tools are a source of constant

Still not working I really have to change 21 port on 80 port, my friend has only www and mail on his netwok. He has rigorous admin. I have done : !! in proftpd.cof : # Port 21 is the standard FTP port. Port 80 !! in /etc/shorewall/modules: loadmodule ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,80 loadmodule ip_nat_ftp ports=21,80 AFTER THAT AND RESTARTTING PROFTP AND

In this release: 1. The ''try'' command now accepts an optional timeout. If the timeout is given in the command, the standard configuration will automatically be restarted after the new configuration has been running for that length of time. This prevents a remote admin from being locked out of the firewall in the case where the new configuration starts but prevents
