Shorewall 4.4<br>
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
The Shorewall 4.4 release in late 2009 will not include
|
|
|
|
|
Shorewall-shell. Because Shorewall 4.0 is included in Debian Lenny, the
|
|
|
|
|
4.0 release of Shorewall-shell will continue to be supported until
|
|
|
|
|
Debian Sid is released. The 4.2 release of Shorewall-shell will
|
|
|
|
|
continue to be supported until Shorewall 4.6 is released in 2010.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
Shorewall-shell users are encouraged to<a href="Shorewall-perl.html">
|
|
|
|
|
migrate to Shorewall-perl</a> at the earliest opportunity. Users who
|
|
|
|
|
run Shorewall-shell on an embedded system that is too small to support
|
|
|
|
|
Perl should consider switching to <a href="CompiledPrograms.html#Lite">Shorewall-lite</a>
|
|
|
|
|
with Shorewall-perl installed on an administrative system (may be a
|
|
|
|
|
Windows[tm] system running <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">Cygwin</a>[tm]).<br>

<h3>Shorewall-perl 4.2.8</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
Shorewall-perl 4.2.8 was dead on arrival. The compiler did not rename
|
|
|
|
|
the generated script file with the result that it was removed when the
|
|
|
|
|
compiler terminated. This lead to:<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>It was not possible to start Shorewall or Shorewall6 for the
|
|
|
|
|
first time after installing 4.2.8</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Changes to the configuration were apparently ignored.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
This problem was corrected in Shorewall-perl-4.2.8.1.<br>

<p>A bug in Shorewall versions 3.2.0-3.2.10, 3.4.0-3.4.6 and
|
|
|
|
|
Shorewall-shell
|
|
|
|
|
4.0.0-4.0.2 prevents proper handling of PREROUTING marks when
|
|
|
|
|
HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=No and the <strong>track</strong> option is
|
|
|
|
|
specified.
|
|
|
|
|
Patches are available to correct this problem:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Shorewall version 3.2.0-3.2.10, 3.4.0-3.4.3: <a
|
|
|

<p>Note that a patch may succeed with an offset when applied to a

release

other than the one for which it was specifically prepared. For example,

|
|

when

|
|
the patch for 3.2.0-3.2.10, 3.4.0-3.4.3 (which was prepared for release
|
|
|
|
|
3.2.10) is applied to release 3.4.3, the following is the result:</p>

|
2009-01-14 19:33:14 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>In Linux Kernel version 2.6.20, the Netfilter team changed Physdev
|
|
|
|
|
Match
|
|
|
|
|
so that it is no longer capable of supporting BRIDGING=Yes. The
|
|
|
|
|
solutions
|
|
|
|
|
available to users are to either:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Switch to using the technique described at <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://www.shorewall.net/3.0/NewBridge.html">http://www.shorewall.net/3.0/NewBridge.html</a>;
|
|
|
|
|
or<br>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Upgrade to Shorewall 4.0, migrate to using Shorewall-perl, and
|
|
|
|
|
follow the instructions at <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://www1.shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html">http://www1.shorewall.net/bridge-Shorewall-perl.html.</a>
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The first approach allows you to switch back and forth between
|
|
|
|
|
kernels
|
|
|
|
|
older and newer than 2.6.20. The second approach is a better long-term
|
|
|
|
|
solution.</p>
