Hi folks, Has anyone out there done port forwarding or DNAT for UDP packets that are normally sent to the broadcast address (255.255.255.255)? I have to support a nasty database application called FileMaker Pro (those of you who know it are probably groaning about now), which uses broadcasts to locate the database server. Theoretically, i can get around this requirement by using LDAP lookups

Hello, With reference to the problems listed below. I too am having incredibly long start up times. I''m talking minutes here (around 5 minutes). My configuration is not complex I don''t think. We are you using ldap too and the settings are bellow. The network is up as I''m restarting shorewall whilst the machine is running. Any suggestions? Is there no way to

Greetings to all of the Shorewall community! We''d like to find out a little more about the environments in which Shorewall runs, and to this end i''ve created a survey. It is mostly designed to allow Shorewall users to see how their environment compares with that of the average Shorewall user (if such a thing exists!), but the results may be used by the Shorewall team to assist

Anyone know how/where we can get some? It has been raised before: http://lists.shorewall.net/pipermail/shorewall-users/2004-July/013594.html I''d like to see an IRC or Jabber service for both support and development. -- Paul <http://paulgear.webhop.net> -- Did you know? OpenOffice.org has built-in PDF creation. Better yet, it''s compatible with Microsoft Office, and

Hello all, I''ve read the shorewall guides and browsed through the mailing lists, but I haven''t been able to find out if the following is possible or not using shorewall. Our provider has given us 16 IPs + 4 in a separate range for our uplink. I would like to replace that router with a Linux box running shorewall with three interfaces. I want the DMZ to be a standard, routed

Hello, Usually when i''ve a hole to poke through firewalls, i have many hosts to update : workstation firewall, lan firewall, the other lan firewall, and the server behind the last firewall. all of them are managed with shorewall... Is there a smart way to update them all at once ? What you guys do on your firewalls ? thanks. -- xavier

Hi folks, When we first started talking about Shorewall post-Tom, a few people offered to help with testing. Would those people please raise their hands again? :-) I''m investigating Nicolas Helleringer''s recent message on shorewall-users (http://lists.shorewall.net/pipermail/shorewall-users/2005-June/018898.html), and a good test environment would come in really handy,

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.

Hi All, Just wanted to announce that MyOSS Magazine - Edition 3 (We''re Edition 3!) is now officially hitting the street. This is a community driven project which aims to publish monthly. (Sorry if this is considered as spam). Securing your Network Connection using OpenSSL OpenSSL is a very important protocol in this day and age. The profilteration of the internet has made this

Hi, I plug my laptop in different networks and use the following hack to configure automatically shorewall for trusted/untrusted networks: In /etc/shorewall/params: # none is a dummy zone associated to the loopback interface NONE="none:0.0.0.0" # Network scheme, automatically detected by intuitively NETWORK_SCHEME="$(cat /etc/network/scheme 2>/dev/null)" case

Hi folks, I''ve added a couple of ''help wanted'' ads to our SourceForge project. You can see them at http://sourceforge.net/people/?group_id=22587 I''ll add more as i have the opportunity. If you can think of other jobs we need to assign, please let me know. -- Paul <http://paulgear.webhop.net> -- Did you know? Using accepted quoting conventions makes

Hello, I leave for a couple days .. (Well months) and look at what has happened. :-) I would throw my support in behind Xoops .. to be honest .. If a portal is what we are trying to achieve here. I just happen to think that sometimes .. More work goes into web design etc than goes into actual Code. But thats because I am a lamer at web design :-) I am coming in here a bit late .. But tell

I''m beginning to think again about what will be different in 2.0. Here are some thoughts. a) User-defined actions will be emphasized. - A library of actions will be available with names such as: AcceptSSH AcceptDNS DropWindows (drops all SMB noise) DropBroadcasts (Silently drop all Broadcast traffic) ... The possibilities are nearly endless but should

As 2.2.0 is nearing release, I''ve begun to think about what I''ll do for 2.3 and I think that it is time for Shorewall to add support for IPV6. Because of parsing ambiguities, the need to maintain upward compatibility with both Shorewall and 6Wall, and different available functionality in IPV4 and IPV6 Netfilter, I believe that it is going to be necessary for some files to be

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

The params file appears to be simply "sourced" by the firewall script, which means one can put any Bourne shell code into it and it will execute it. This feature isn''t documented, so I''m wondering if it can be documented and thus guaranteed to always work. I''d like to dig out the IP parameters of my interface cards from the ifcfg-eth? files and set shorewall

Hi folks, I''m conducting a straw poll for your opinions on whether we should send CVS commit logs (probably with diffs) to the shorewall-devel list, or to another (new) list? I can see advantages to both ways: separate lists mean that people who aren''t contributing code don''t get flooded with code noise, but a single list will help keep everyone involved in the

Dear All, I have a problem to start Shorewall on a Debian 1.3 Linux box. Here is some info: Output of ''/sbin/shorewall trace start 2> /tmp/trace'' is in the attachment.

I believe that 2.4.0 is about ready to be sent out the door. I''ve made a couple of small changes since RC2 but I don''t believe that they warrant another RC. There remains the issue of what to do about support for Shorewall 2.0 given that 2.2 has only been available since March. It would be my recommendation to make 2.4 the new "stable" release but continue to

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
