|
||||
<p style="">Friends,</p>
|
||||
<p style="">The demands that my job and my
|
||||
personal life are currently placing on me are such that supporing
|
||||
Shorewall to the extent that I have been doing is just not possible
|
||||
any more.</p>
|
||||
<p style="">I will continue to be active on the
|
||||
development list and will continue to develop Shorewall if at all
|
||||
possible.</p>
|
||||
<p style="">I will also continue to read the
|
||||
user's list and will help with problems that interest me. But I am no
|
||||
longer going to hop on every problem as soon as I see it.</p>
|
||||
<p style="">This change means that I'm going to
|
||||
have to depend on you folks to help each other; I'm confident that we
|
||||
can make this work.</p>

</b>Problems
|

Corrected:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The PKTTYPE option introduced in
|
||||
version 2.0.6 is now used when generating rules to REJECT packets.
|
||||
Broadcast packets are silently dropped rather than being rejected with
|
||||
an ICMP (which is a protocol violation) and users whose kernels have
|
||||
broken packet type match support are likely to see messages reporting
|
||||
this violation. Setting PKTTYPE=No should cause these messages to
|
||||
cease. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Multiple interfaces with the
|
||||
'blacklist' option no longer result in an error message at startup. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>The following has been added to /etc/shorewall/bogons:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
0.0.0.0 RETURN<br>
|

<br>
|

This prevents the 'nobogons' option from logging DHCP 'DISCOVER'
|

|
||||
Model<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
</b>Effective today, Shorewall is adopting a new release
|
||||
model which takes ideas from the one used in the Linux Kernel and
|
||||
from the release model for Postfix.</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Releases continue to have a
|
||||
three-level identification <i>x.y.z</i> (e.g., 2.0.3).</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The first two levels (<i>x.y)</i>
|
||||
designate the <i>Major Release Number</i> (e.g., 2.0) </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The third level (<i>z</i>)
|
||||
designates the <i>Minor Release Number</i>. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Even numbered major releases (e.g., <i>1.4,
|
||||
2.0, 2.2, ...)</i> are <i>Stable Releases</i>. No new features are
|
||||
added to stable releases and new minor releases of a stable release
|
||||
will only contain bug fixes. Installing a new minor release for the
|
||||
major release that you are currently running involves no migration
|
||||
issues (for example, if you are running 1.4.10 and I release 1.4.11,
|
||||
your current configuration is 100% compatible with the new release). </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Support is available through the <a
|
||||
href="http://lists.shorewall.net/">Mailing List </a>for the two most
|
||||
recent Stable Releases.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Odd numbered major releases (e.g.,
|
||||
2.1, 2.3, ...) are <i>Development Releases</i>. Development releases
|
||||
are where new functionality is introduced. Documentation for new
|
||||
features will be available but it may not be up to the standards of the
|
||||
stable release documentation. Sites running Development Releases should
|
||||
be prepared to play an active role in testing new features. Bug fixes
|
||||
and problem resolution for the development release take a back seat to
|
||||
support of the stable releases. Problem reports for the current
|
||||
development release should be sent to the <a
|
||||
href="mailto:shorewall-devel@lists.shorewall.net">Shorewall
|
||||
Development Mailing List</a>.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When the level of functionality of
|
||||
the current development release is judged adaquate, the Beta period for
|
||||
a new Stable release will begin. Beta releases have identifications of
|
||||
the form <i>x.y.0-BetaN</i> where <i>x.y</i> is the number of the
|
||||
next Stable Release and <i>N</i>=1,2,3... . Betas are expected to
|
||||
occur rougly once per year. Beta releases may contain new functionality
|
||||
not present in the previous beta release (e.g., 2.2.0-Beta4 may contain
|
||||
functionality not present in 2.2.0-Beta3). When I'm confident that the
|
||||
current Beta release is stable, I will release the first <i>Release
|
||||
Candidate. </i>Release candidates have identifications of the form <i>x.y.0-RCn
|
||||
</i>where <i>x.y </i>is the number of the next Stable Release and
|
||||
<i>n</i>=1,2,3... . Release candidates contain no new functionailty
|
||||
-- they only contain bug fixes. When the stability of the current
|
||||
release candidate is judged to be sufficient then that release
|
||||
candidate will be released as the new stable release (e.g., 2.2.0). At
|
||||
that time, the new stable release and the prior stable release are
|
||||
those that are supported. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">What does it mean for a major
|
||||
release to be <i>supported?</i> It means that I will answer questions
|
||||
about the release and that if a bug is found, I will fix the bug and
|
||||
include the fix in the next minor release. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Between minor releases, bug fixes will continue to be made

<p>The immediate implications of this change are as follows:</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Shorewall checks netfilter

<p>With BLACKLISTNEWONLY=Yes, ICMP packets with state INVALID are

|

</li>
|

</ol>
|
||||
<p>Issues when migrating from Shorewall 2.0.2 to Shorewall 2.0.3:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>The 'dropNonSyn' standard builtin action has been replaced with
|
||||
the 'dropNotSyn' standard builtin action. The old name can still be
|
||||
used but will generate a warning. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>New Features:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Shorewall now supports multiple
|
||||
saved configurations. </p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The default saved configuration
|
||||
(restore script) in /var/lib/shorewall is now specified using the
|
||||
RESTOREFILE option in shorewall.conf. If this variable isn't set then
|
||||
to maintain backward compatibility, 'restore' is assumed.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The value of RESTOREFILE must be a simple file name; no slashes ("/")
|
||||
may be included.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "save" command has been
|
||||
extended to be able to specify the name of a saved configuration.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
shorewall
|
||||
save [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The current state is saved to /var/lib/shorewall/<file name>. If
|
||||
no <file name> is given, the configuration is saved to the file
|
||||
determined by the RESTOREFILE setting. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "restore" command has been
|
||||
extended to be able to specify the name of a saved configuration:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
shorewall
|
||||
restore [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The firewall state is restored from /var/lib/shorewall/<file
|
||||
name>. If no <file name> is given, the firewall state is
|
||||
restored from the file determined by the RESTOREFILE setting. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "forget" command has
|
||||
changed. Previously, the command unconditionally removed the
|
||||
/var/lib/shorewall/save file which records the current dynamic
|
||||
blacklist. The "forget" command now leaves that file alone.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Also, the "forget" command has been extended to be able to specify the
|
||||
name of a saved configuration:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
shorewall forget [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The file /var/lib/shorewall/<file name> is removed. If no
|
||||
<file name> is given, the file determined by the RESTOREFILE
|
||||
setting is removed. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "shorewall -f start" command
|
||||
restores the state from the file determined by the RESTOREFILE setting.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">"!" is now allowed in accounting
|
||||
rules. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Interface names appearing within the
|
||||
configuration are now verified. Interface names must match the name of
|
||||
an entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces (or if bridging is enabled, they
|
||||
must match the name of an entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces or the
|
||||
name of a bridge port appearing in /etc/shorewall/hosts). </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A new 'rejNotSyn' built-in standard
|
||||
action has been added. This action responds to "New not SYN" packets
|
||||
with an RST.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The 'dropNonSyn' action has been superceded by the new 'dropNotSyn'
|
||||
action. The old name will be accepted until the next major release of
|
||||
Shorewall but will generate a warning.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Several new logging actions involving "New not SYN" packets have been
|
||||
added:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
logNewNotSyn -- logs
|
||||
the packet with disposition = LOG<br>
|
||||
dLogNewNotSyn -- logs the
|
||||
packet with disposition = DROP<br>
|
||||
rLogNewNotSyn -- logs the
|
||||
packet with disposition = REJECT<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The packets are logged at the log level specified in the LOGNEWNOTSYN
|
||||
option in shorewall.conf. If than option is empty or not specified,
|
||||
then 'info' is assumed.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Examples (In all cases, set NEWNOTSYN=Yes in shorewall.conf): </p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">To simulate the behavior of
|
||||
NEWNOTSYN=No: </p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Add 'NoNewNotSyn' to
|
||||
/etc/shorewall/actions. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Create /etc/shorewall/action.NoNewNotSyn containing:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
dLogNotSyn<br>
|
||||
|
||||
dropNotSyn</p>
|

|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Drop 'New not SYN' packets from
|
||||
the net only. Don't log them: </p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Early in your rules file, place:<br>

<p>Slackware users no longer have to modify the install.sh script
|

before installation. Tuomo Soini has provided a change that allows the

INIT and FIREWALL variables to be specified outside the script as in:<br>

|

Problems Corrected:<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Previously, an empty PROTO column or a value of "all" in that
|
||||
column would cause errors when processing the /etc/shorewall/tcrules
|
||||
file.</li>
|
||||
<li>The GATEWAY column was previously ignored in 'pptpserver' entries
|
||||
in /etc/shorewall/tunnels.</li>
|
||||
<li>When log rule numbers are included in the LOGFORMAT, duplicate
|
||||
rule numbers could previously be generated.</li>
|
||||
<li>The /etc/shorewall/tcrules file now includes a note to the effect
|
||||
that rule evaluation continues after a match.</li>
|
||||
<li>The error message produced if Shorewall couldn't obtain the routes
|
||||
through an interface named in the SUBNET column of /etc/shorewall/masq
|
||||
was less than helpful since it didn't include the interface name.<br>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
New Features:<br>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>The "shorewall status" command now includes the output of "brctl
|
||||
show" if the bridge tools are installed.<br>
|
||||
<li>The "shorewall status" command has been enhanced to include the

|
||||
<p style="">Friends,</p>
|
||||
<p style="">The demands that my job and my
|
||||
personal life are currently placing on me are such that supporing
|
||||
Shorewall to the extent that I have been doing is just not possible
|
||||
any more.</p>
|
||||
<p style="">I will continue to be active on the
|
||||
development list and will continue to develop Shorewall if at all
|
||||
possible.</p>
|
||||
<p style="">I will also continue to read the
|
||||
user's list and will help with problems that interest me. But I am no
|
||||
longer going to hop on every problem as soon as I see it.</p>
|
||||
<p style="">This change means that I'm going to
|
||||
have to depend on you folks to help each other; I'm confident that we
|
||||
can make this work.</p>

</b>Problems

Corrected:</p>
|

<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The PKTTYPE option introduced in
|
||||
version 2.0.6 is now used when generating rules to REJECT packets.
|
||||
Broadcast packets are silently dropped rather than being rejected with
|
||||
an ICMP (which is a protocol violation) and users whose kernels have
|
||||
broken packet type match support are likely to see messages reporting
|
||||
this violation. Setting PKTTYPE=No should cause these messages to
|
||||
cease. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Multiple interfaces with the
|
||||
'blacklist' option no longer result in an error message at startup. </p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Some users have reported the packet

broadcast packets.<br>

Other users have complained of the following message when starting

|
||||
Model<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
</b>Effective today, Shorewall is adopting a new release
|
||||
model which takes ideas from the one used in the Linux Kernel and
|
||||
from the release model for Postfix.</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Releases continue to have a
|
||||
three-level identification <i>x.y.z</i> (e.g., 2.0.3).</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The first two levels (<i>x.y)</i>
|
||||
designate the <i>Major Release Number</i> (e.g., 2.0) </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The third level (<i>z</i>)
|
||||
designates the <i>Minor Release Number</i>. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Even numbered major releases (e.g., <i>1.4,
|
||||
2.0, 2.2, ...)</i> are <i>Stable Releases</i>. No new features are
|
||||
added to stable releases and new minor releases of a stable release
|
||||
will only contain bug fixes. Installing a new minor release for the
|
||||
major release that you are currently running involves no migration
|
||||
issues (for example, if you are running 1.4.10 and I release 1.4.11,
|
||||
your current configuration is 100% compatible with the new release). </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Support is available through the <a
|
||||
href="http://lists.shorewall.net/">Mailing List </a>for the two most
|
||||
recent Stable Releases.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Odd numbered major releases (e.g.,
|
||||
2.1, 2.3, ...) are <i>Development Releases</i>. Development releases
|
||||
are where new functionality is introduced. Documentation for new
|
||||
features will be available but it may not be up to the standards of the
|
||||
stable release documentation. Sites running Development Releases should
|
||||
be prepared to play an active role in testing new features. Bug fixes
|
||||
and problem resolution for the development release take a back seat to
|
||||
support of the stable releases. Problem reports for the current
|
||||
development release should be sent to the <a
|
||||
href="mailto:shorewall-devel@lists.shorewall.net">Shorewall
|
||||
Development Mailing List</a>.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">When the level of functionality of
|
||||
the current development release is judged adaquate, the Beta period for
|
||||
a new Stable release will begin. Beta releases have identifications of
|
||||
the form <i>x.y.0-BetaN</i> where <i>x.y</i> is the number of the
|
||||
next Stable Release and <i>N</i>=1,2,3... . Betas are expected to
|
||||
occur rougly once per year. Beta releases may contain new functionality
|
||||
not present in the previous beta release (e.g., 2.2.0-Beta4 may contain
|
||||
functionality not present in 2.2.0-Beta3). When I'm confident that the
|
||||
current Beta release is stable, I will release the first <i>Release
|
||||
Candidate. </i>Release candidates have identifications of the form <i>x.y.0-RCn
|
||||
</i>where <i>x.y </i>is the number of the next Stable Release and
|
||||
<i>n</i>=1,2,3... . Release candidates contain no new functionailty
|
||||
-- they only contain bug fixes. When the stability of the current
|
||||
release candidate is judged to be sufficient then that release
|
||||
candidate will be released as the new stable release (e.g., 2.2.0). At
|
||||
that time, the new stable release and the prior stable release are
|
||||
those that are supported. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">What does it mean for a major
|
||||
release to be <i>supported?</i> It means that I will answer questions
|
||||
about the release and that if a bug is found, I will fix the bug and
|
||||
include the fix in the next minor release. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|

<li>
|

||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Shorewall checks netfilter
|
||||
capabilities before loading kernel modules. Hence if kernel module
|
||||
autoloading isn't enabled, the capabilities will be misdetected. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The 'newnotsyn' option in
|
||||
/etc/shorewall/hosts has no effect. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The file /etc/init.d/shorewall now
|
||||
gets proper ownership when the RPM is built by a non-root user. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Rules that specify bridge ports in
|
||||
both the SOURCE and DEST columns no longer cause "shorewall start" to
|
||||
fail. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Comments in the rules file have been
|
||||
added to advise users that "all" in the SOURCE or DEST column does not
|
||||
affect intra-zone traffic. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>With BLACKLISTNEWONLY=Yes, ICMP packets with state INVALID are
|
||||
now passed through the blacklisting chains. Without this change, it is
|
||||
not possible to blacklist hosts that are mounting certain types of
|
||||
ICMP-based DOS attacks. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>Issues when migrating from Shorewall 2.0.2 to Shorewall 2.0.3:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>The 'dropNonSyn' standard builtin action has been replaced with
|
||||
the 'dropNotSyn' standard builtin action. The old name can still be
|
||||
used but will generate a warning. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>New Features:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Shorewall now supports multiple
|
||||
saved configurations. </p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The default saved configuration
|
||||
(restore script) in /var/lib/shorewall is now specified using the
|
||||
RESTOREFILE option in shorewall.conf. If this variable isn't set then
|
||||
to maintain backward compatibility, 'restore' is assumed.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The value of RESTOREFILE must be a simple file name; no slashes ("/")
|
||||
may be included.</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "save" command has been
|
||||
extended to be able to specify the name of a saved configuration.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
shorewall
|
||||
save [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The current state is saved to /var/lib/shorewall/<file name>. If
|
||||
no <file name> is given, the configuration is saved to the file
|
||||
determined by the RESTOREFILE setting. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "restore" command has been
|
||||
extended to be able to specify the name of a saved configuration:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
shorewall
|
||||
restore [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The firewall state is restored from /var/lib/shorewall/<file
|
||||
name>. If no <file name> is given, the firewall state is
|
||||
restored from the file determined by the RESTOREFILE setting. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "forget" command has
|
||||
changed. Previously, the command unconditionally removed the
|
||||
/var/lib/shorewall/save file which records the current dynamic
|
||||
blacklist. The "forget" command now leaves that file alone.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Also, the "forget" command has been extended to be able to specify the
|
||||
name of a saved configuration:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
shorewall forget [ <file name> ]<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The file /var/lib/shorewall/<file name> is removed. If no
|
||||
<file name> is given, the file determined by the RESTOREFILE
|
||||
setting is removed. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The "shorewall -f start" command
|
||||
restores the state from the file determined by the RESTOREFILE setting.

<p>The features available in this release and the migration
|
||||
considerations are covered in the <a
|
||||
href="http://shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/2.2-Beta/shorewall-2.2.0-Beta1/releasenotes.txt">release
|
||||
notes</a>. Highlights include:<br>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">"!" is now allowed in accounting
|
||||
rules. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Interface names appearing within the
|
||||
configuration are now verified. Interface names must match the name of
|
||||
an entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces (or if bridging is enabled, they
|
||||
must match the name of an entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces or the
|
||||
name of a bridge port appearing in /etc/shorewall/hosts). </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">A new 'rejNotSyn' built-in standard
|
||||
action has been added. This action responds to "New not SYN" packets
|
||||
with an RST.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The 'dropNonSyn' action has been superceded by the new 'dropNotSyn'
|
||||
action. The old name will be accepted until the next major release of
|
||||
Shorewall but will generate a warning.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Several new logging actions involving "New not SYN" packets have been
|
||||
added:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
logNewNotSyn -- logs
|
||||
the packet with disposition = LOG<br>
|
||||
dLogNewNotSyn -- logs the
|
||||
packet with disposition = DROP<br>
|
||||
rLogNewNotSyn -- logs the
|
||||
packet with disposition = REJECT<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
The packets are logged at the log level specified in the LOGNEWNOTSYN
|
||||
option in shorewall.conf. If than option is empty or not specified,
|
||||
then 'info' is assumed.<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
Examples (In all cases, set NEWNOTSYN=Yes in shorewall.conf): </p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">To simulate the behavior of
|
||||
NEWNOTSYN=No: </p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Add 'NoNewNotSyn' to
|
||||
/etc/shorewall/actions. </p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Create /etc/shorewall/action.NoNewNotSyn containing:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
dLogNotSyn<br>
|
||||
|
||||
dropNotSyn</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Early in your rules file, place:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
NoNewNotSyn all all tcp</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Drop 'New not SYN' packets from
|
||||
the net only. Don't log them: </p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Early in your rules file, place:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
|
||||
dropNotSyn
|
||||
net all tcp</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>Slackware users no longer have to modify the install.sh script
|
||||
before installation. Tuomo Soini has provided a change that allows the
|
||||
INIT and FIREWALL variables to be specified outside the script as in:<br>
|
||||
<br>
|
||||
DEST=/etc/rc.d INIT=rc.firewall
|
||||
./install.sh</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>The behavior produced by specifying a log level in an action
|
||||
invocation is now much more rational. Previously, all packets sent to
|
||||
the action were logged; now each rule within the invoked action behaves
|
||||
as if logging had been specified on it.</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for the 2.6 Kernel's native IPSEC implementation is now
|
||||
available.</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for ipp2p is included.</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for the iptables CONNMARK facility is now included in
|
||||
Shorewall.</li>
|
||||
<li>A new LOGALLNEW option facilitates problem analysis.</li>
|
||||
<li>Users with a large static blacklist can now defer loading the
|
||||
blacklist until after the rest of the ruleset has been enabled. Doing
|
||||
so can decrease substantially the amount of time that connections are
|
||||
disabled during <span style="font-weight: bold;">shorewall [re]start</span>.</li>
|
||||
<li>Support for the iptables 'iprange match' feature has been
|
||||
enabled. Users whose kernel and iptables contain this feature can use
|
||||
ip address ranges in most places in their Shorewall configuration where
|
||||
a CIDR netowrk can be used.</li>
|
||||
<li>Accepting of source routing and martian logging may now be
|
||||
enabled/disabled on each interface.</li>
|
||||
<li>Shorewall now supports the CLASSIFY iptable target.</li>
