Shorewall 3.2.0 Beta 8

information.
Problems Corrected in 3.2.0 Beta 8
Problems Corrected in 3.2.0 RC 1
1) If BRIDGING=No in shorewall.conf, then an entry in
/etc/shorewall/hosts such as the following would result in an
obscure failure of an iptables command:
None.
loc br0:eth0
Other changes in 3.2.0 RC 1
Shorewall now detects this case and issues a more helpful error
message:
ERROR: BRIDGING=Yes is required for this zone definition: loc br0:eth0
2) Previously, if LOGFORMAT generated any embedded white-space then a
startup error would result.
3) The 'trace' keyword now causes the execution of the compiled script to
be traced when the command is 'start' or 'restart'.
4) It is now possible to exclude a single source MAC address using
!<MAC address>. Previously, a startup error occurred.
Other changes in 3.2.0 Beta 8
1) In /etc/shorewall/rules, the values "all-" and "all+-" may now be
used for zone names. "all-" means "All zones except the firewall";
"all+-" means "All zones except the firewall" and intra-zone
traffic is included.
2) Kernel version 2.6.16 introduces 'xtables', a new common packet
filtering and connection tracking facility that supports both IPv4
and IPv6. Because a different set of kernel modules must be loaded
for xtables, Shorewall now includes two 'modules' files:
a) /usr/share/shorewall/modules -- the former
/etc/shorewall/modules
b) /usr/share/shorewall/xmodules -- a new file that support
xtables.
If you wish to use the new file, then simply execute this command:
cp -f /usr/share/shorewall/xmodules /etc/modules
3) Shorewall now checks to see if devices in /etc/shorewall/tcdevices
exist. If a device does not exist, a warning message is issued and
that device's entries in /etc/shorewall/tcclasses are ignored. This
applies to "shorewall start", "shorewall restart" and "shorewall
refresh".
None.
