If you use a Windows system to download a corrected script, be
sure to run the script through dos2unix
after you have moved it to your Linux system.
If you are installing Shorewall for the first time and plan to
use the .tgz and install.sh script, you can untar the archive, replace
the firewall
script in the untarred directory with the
one you downloaded below, and then run install.sh.
When the instructions say to install a corrected firewall script
in /usr/share/shorewall/firewall, you may rename the existing file
before copying in the new file.
DO NOT INSTALL CORRECTED COMPONENTS ON A
RELEASE EARLIER THAN THE ONE THAT THEY ARE LISTED UNDER
BELOW. For example, do NOT install the 2.0.2 firewall
script if you are running 2.0.0-RC2
Problems in Shorewall.
Beginning with Shorewall version 2.2.0, errata will not be published on this page. Rather, the
download directory for each version will contain:
A known_problems.txt file. This file will
list all known problems and will describe to any corrections or
workarounds available.
An errata sub-directory.
This directory will contain updated components that correct problems
listed in the known_problems.txt file.
Upgrade Issues
The upgrade issues have moved to a
separate page.
