1/30/2004 - Shorewall 1.4.10
+
Problems Corrected since version 1.4.9
+
+
The column descriptions in the action.template file did not
+match the column headings. That has been corrected.
+
The presence of IPV6 addresses on devices generated error
+messages during [re]start if ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes or ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes
+are specified in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. These messages have
+been eliminated.
+
The CONTINUE action in /etc/shorewall/rules now
+works
+correctly. A couple of problems involving rate limiting have been
+corrected. These bug fixes courtesy of Steven Jan Springl.
+
Shorewall now tried to avoid sending an ICMP response to
+broadcasts and smurfs.
+
Specifying "-" or "all" in the PROTO column of an action no
+longer causes a startup error.
The INTERFACE column in the /etc/shorewall/masq file may
+now specify a destination list.
+
+Example:
+
+ #INTERFACE
+ SUBNET ADDRESS
+ eth0:192.0.2.3,192.0.2.16/28 eth1
+
+If the list begins with "!" then SNAT will occur only if the
+destination IP address is NOT included in the list.
+
+
+
Output traffic control rules (those with the firewall as
+the
+source) may now be qualified by the effective userid and/or effective
+group id of the program generating the output. This feature is courtesy
+of Frédéric LESPEZ.
+
+A new USER column has been added to /etc/shorewall/tcrules. It may
+contain :
+
+ [<user name or number>]:[<group
+name or number>]
+
+The colon is optionnal when specifying only a user.
+
+ Examples : john: / john / :users /
+john:users
+
+
+
A "detectnets" interface option has been added for entries
+in
+/etc/shorewall/interfaces. This option automatically taylors the
+definition of the zone named in the ZONE column to include just
+those
+hosts that have routes through the interface named in the INTERFACE
+column. The named interface must be UP when Shorewall is [re]started.
+
+ WARNING: DO NOT SET THIS OPTION ON YOUR INTERNET INTERFACE!
