 <p><strong></strong></p>
 <pre>Problems corrected in Shorewall 4.2.9<br><br>1)  The Shorweall-perl 4.2.8 compiler did not rename the output script<br>    file with the result that:<br><br>     a) Shorewall would not start for the first time after<br>        installation.<br>     b) Configuration changes were apparently ignored.<br><br>2)   Placing a broadcast address in the BROADCAST column of<br>    /etc/shorewall/interfaces caused Shorewall-perl to generate an<br>    error:<br><br>        ERROR: Invalid BROADCAST address : /etc/shorewall/interfaces\<br>                 (line 225)<br><br>3)  When Shorewall could not determine the MAC address of of a gateway<br>    router where multiple providers are configured through the same<br>    interface, invalid iptables-restore input was generated. This<br>    resulted in an error message similar to the following:<br><br>        iptables-restore v1.3.5: Bad mac address `-j'<br><br>4)  Shorewall-perl was not processing the tcrules file when<br>    TC_ENABLED=No.<br><br>5)  When 'all' appeared in the SOURCE column of a DNAT rule, no rule to<br>    redirect output from the firewall itself was generated.<br>    <br>6)  The 'shorewall iprange' command failed to produce a minimal list of<br>    networks.<br><br>New Features in Shorewall 4.2.9<br><br>1)  Shorewall6 has now been validated on Ubuntu Hardy running kernel<br>    2.6.24. Shorewall6 is now supported on that kernel version.<br></pre>
