similar to: Shorewall 1.4.0 Beta 1

Here is the proposed content -- I''m looking for a Beta to start in the next week or so with release around the middle of next month. The main focus of 1.4 will be to provide external behavior similar to the upcoming 2.0 release. Function from 1.3 that has been omitted from this version includes: 1) The MERGE_HOSTS variable in shorewall.conf is no longer supported. Shorewall 1.4

The first release candidate is now available at: http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta The only change between Beta 1 and RC1 is that the ''check'' command is back in RC1. Function from 1.3 that has been omitted from this version includes: 1) The MERGE_HOSTS variable in shorewall.conf is no longer supported. Shorewall 1.4

The second Beta is now available at: http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta Function from 1.3 that has been omitted from this version includes: 1) The ''check'' command is no longer supported. 2) The MERGE_HOSTS variable in shorewall.conf is no longer supported. Shorewall 1.4 behavior is the same as 1.3 with MERGE_HOSTS=Yes.

Beta 1 is now available at: http://www.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/Beta Features include: 1) An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to shorewall.conf. When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been (see http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html). When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, icmp echo (ping) is handled via rules and

I''ve begun to think about 2.0. I would like to hear any ideas about what you would like to see included. Before I decide what new things will be implemented though, I want to nail down what WON''T be included. Here is my list: a) Old Ping Handling. There won''t be any ''noping'' or ''forwardping'' interface options and there

Shorewall 1.3.14 is now available. Thanks go to Francesca Smith for helping with updating the sample configurations. New in 1.3.14: 1) An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to shorewall.conf. When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been (see http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html). When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, icmp echo (ping) is handled via rules and

http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/2.2/shorewall-2.2.3 ftp://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/2.2/shorewall-2.2.3 Problems Corrected: 1) If a zone is defined in /etc/shorewall/hosts using <interface>:!<network> in the HOSTS column then startup errors occur on "shorewall [re]start". 2) Previously, if "shorewall status" was run on a system whose kernel lacked

This is a roll up of the following fixes: * There is an updated rfc1918 file that reflects the resent allocation of 222.0.0.0/8 and 223.0.0.0/8. * The documentation for the routestopped file claimed that a comma-separated list could appear in the second column while the code only supported a single host or network address. * Log messages produced by ''logunclean'',

I''m beginning to believe that the use of the last column in the rules file to designate redirection/forwarding is too subtle for many users. For 1.3, I think I''ll do something like the following: Current rule: ACCEPT net loc:192.168.1.3 tcp 80 - all New rule: FORWARD net loc:192.168.1.3 tcp 80 Current rule: ACCEPT net fw::3128 tcp 80 - all New rule: REDIRECT net

Another bug with similar symptoms to the last one has been found by Renato Tirol.

The rule: ACCEPT loc $FW::3128 tcp www doesn''t work propertly, the http access does not redirect to squid but directly exit. what''s wrong?

Tom, or whomever reads this, when I say disconnect I mean close out IE6, sorry for so unclear on this point. My IP address never changes unless I unplug the modem. I have had the same IP address for ... well since I had to reset it to hook it up to my Linux box.which was 2 weeks ago. If I set DHCP on my eth1 interface that will contradict the static address I have assigned to it,

Previously, these addresses resulted in an invalid iptables command. 3) The
