http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta ftp://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta Problems corrected since RC1: 1) The documentation of the USERSETS column in the rules file has been corrected. 2) If there is no policy defined for the zones specified in a rule, the firewall script previously encountered a shell syntax error: [: NONE: unexpected operator Now, the absence of a

Hopefully, this will do it. Includes fixes from Steven Jan Springl (Thanks Steven!) and a fix to avoid returning a response to smurfs. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net

Ok -- I''m wearing the brown bag tonight (I''ve airmailed one to Tuomas as well :-) ). The IPTABLES patch had some problems when IPTABLES was not set in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. Beta 6 fixes those (I hope) and also corrects a rather obscure problem with "shorewall add" when the "mss" option appears in /etc/shorewall/ipsec. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \

If you are interested in helping with testing new features, please look at http://shorewall.net/netmap.html. If you have a need for this type of network-level address mapping and/or are in a position to test it please let me know. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ teastep@shorewall.net

I''ve uploaded Beta 4. It corrects a bad bug involving exclusion in the hosts file. In addition, it contains the first release of a new Bridge/firewall implementation that uses the reduced-function physdev match found in kernel 3.6.20 and 3.6.21. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \

RC 2 is ready for testing. Problems corrected: 1) The 4.5.1 Shorewall Lite and Shorewall6 Lite installers install the wrong SysV init script on Debian and derivatives. That has been corrected. 2) The getparams program now reads the installed shorewallrc file rather than ~/.shorewallrc. 3) The ''load'' and ''reload'' now copy the

Rather than have lots of folks downloading a version with a broken ''check'' command, I''ve released 1.4.1a that corrects the problem.

I''ve opened up development of Shorewall 4.1. While I had previously announced that Shorewall 4.1 would focus on IPv6, I have since learned that the netfilter team are developing ''xtables'', a unified IP0v4/IPv6 utility. It seems silly to spend the effort to add Shorewall support for IPv6 only to then have to turn around and convert it to use xtables. So I''ve

The 1.4.6 version of Shorewall makes additional demands on the shell. I have found that both the RH9.0 version of ash and the version of ash that has long been available from the Shorewall download sites are *not* suitable for use with Shorewall 1.4.6. The LEAF Bering version of ash on the other hand works fine. Attached is a small shell program that will allow you to test your shell for

RC 3 is now available for testing. Problems corrected: 1) The Shorewall and Shorewall6 ''load'' and ''reload'' commands previously used the setting of RSH_COMMAND and RCP_COMMAND from /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf (/etc/shorewall6/shorewall6.conf).
