Shorewall Lite 3.2.0 RC 3 Problems Corrected in 3.2.0 RC 2 1) The /usr/share/shorewall-lite/configpath file has been corrected to correctly refer to /usr/share/shorewall-lite/. 2) The /etc/shorewall-lite/Makefile has been corrected to refer to the proper directories. 3) The /usr/share/shorewall-lite/shorecap program has been corrected to refer to the proper directories and to correct a typo that prevented the program for detecting any capabilities. Other changes in 3.2.0 RC 3 1) The controversial symbolic link /sbin/shorewall has been eliminated. The Shorewall Lite control program is now /sbin/shorewall-lite. Those users who only run Shorewall Lite and who prefer the name /sbin/shorewall may create a symbolic link as follows: ln -sf shorewall-lite /sbin/shorewall New Features: Shorewall Lite is a companion product to Shorewall and is designed to allow you to maintain all Shorewall configuration information on a single system within your network. a) You install the full Shorewall release on one system within your network. You need not configure Shorewall there and you may totally disable startup of Shorewall in your init scripts. For ease of reference, we call this system the 'administrative system'. b) On each system where you wish to run a Shorewall-generated firewall, you install Shorewall Lite. For ease of reference, we will call these systems the 'firewall systems'. c) On the administrative system you create a separete 'configuration directory' for each firewall system. You copy the contents of /usr/share/shorewall/configfiles into each configuration directory. d) On each firewall system, you run: /usr/share/shorewall/shorecap > capabilities scp capabilities : e) On the administrative system, for each firewall system you: 1) modify the files in the corresponding configuration directory appropriately. 2) (this may be done as a non-root user) cd /sbin/shorewall compile -e . firewall scp firewall root@:/usr/share/shorewall/ 3) On the firewall system, 'shorewall-lite start'. It is possible to have both shorewall and Shorewall Lite installed on the same system.
