<p>For upgrade instructions see the <a
href="Install.htm">Install/Upgrade page</a>.<br>
</p>
<p>It is important that you read all of the sections on this page where the
version number mentioned in the section title is later than what you
are currently running.<br>
</p>
<p> In the descriptions that follows, the term <b><i>group </i></b>refers
to a particular network or subnetwork (which may be 0.0.0.0/0 or it may
be a host address) accessed through a particular interface.<br>
</p>
<p>Examples:<br>
    <br>
    eth0:0.0.0.0/0<br>
    eth2:192.168.1.0/24<br>
    eth3:192.0.2.123<br>
</p>
<p> You can use the "shorewall check" command to see the groups associated
with each of your zones.<br>
</p>
<h3> </h3>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.4.6</h3>
<ul>
<li> The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT options have been removed
from shorewall.conf. These capabilities are now automatically detected by
Shorewall.</li>
<li>An undocumented <i>feature</i> previously allowed entries in the host
file as follows:<br>
<br>
<i>zone</i>    eth1:192.168.1.0/24,eth2:192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
This capability was never documented and has been removed in 1.4.6 to allow
entries of the following format:<br>
<br>
<i>zone</i>   eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.4.4</h3>
If you are upgrading from 1.4.3 and have set the LOGMARKER variable
in <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</a>, then
you must set the new LOGFORMAT variable appropriately and remove your setting
of LOGMARKER<br>
<br>
<h3>Version 1.4.4<br>
</h3>
If you have zone names that are 5 characters long, you may experience
problems starting Shorewall because the --log-prefix in a logging rule
is too long. Upgrade to Version 1.4.4a to fix this problem..<br>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.4.2</h3>
There are some cases where you may want to handle traffic from a particular
group to itself. While I personally think that such a setups are ridiculous,
there are two cases covered in this documentation where it can occur:<br>
<ol>
<li><a href="FAQ.htm#faq2">In FAQ #2</a>.</li>
<li><a href="Shorewall_Squid_Usage.html">When running Squid as a
transparent proxy in your local zone.</a></li>
</ol>
If you have either of these cases, you will want to review the current
documentation and change your configuration accordingly.<br>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.4.1</h3>
<ul>
<li>Beginning with Version 1.4.1, traffic between groups in
the same zone is accepted by default. Previously, traffic from a zone
to itself was treated just like any other traffic; any matching rules
were applied followed by enforcement of the appropriate policy. With 1.4.1
and later versions, unless you have explicit rules for traffic from Z
to Z or you have an explicit Z to Z policy (where "Z" is some zone) then
traffic between the groups in zone Z will be accepted. If you do have one
or more explicit rules for Z to Z or if you have an explicit Z to Z policy
then the behavior is as it was in prior versions.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>If you have a Z Z ACCEPT policy for a zone to allow traffic
between two interfaces to the same zone, that policy can be removed
and traffic between the interfaces will traverse fewer rules than previously.</li>
<li>If you have a Z Z DROP or Z Z REJECT policy or you have
Z-&gt;Z rules then your configuration should not require any change.</li>
<li>If you are currently relying on a implicit policy (one
that has "all" in either the SOURCE or DESTINATION column) to prevent
traffic between two interfaces to a zone Z and you have no rules for
Z-&gt;Z then you should add an explicit DROP or REJECT policy for Z to
Z.<br>
</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li> Sometimes, you want two separate zones on one interface but
you don't want Shorewall to set up any infrastructure to handle traffic
between them. </li>
</ul>
<blockquote>Example:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>/etc/shorewall/zones<br><br>z1 Zone1 The first Zone<br>z2 Zone2 The secont Zone<br><br>/etc/shorewall/interfaces<br><br>z2 eth1 192.168.1.255<br><br>/etc/shorewall/hosts<br><br>z1 eth1:192.168.1.3<br></pre>
</blockquote>
Here, zone z1 is nested in zone z2 and the firewall is not going
to be involved in any traffic between these two zones. Beginning with
Shorewall 1.4.1, you can prevent Shorewall from setting up any infrastructure
to handle traffic between z1 and z2 by using the new NONE policy:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>/etc/shorewall/policy<br><pre>z1 z2 NONE<br>z2 z1 NONE</pre></pre>
</blockquote>
Note that NONE policies are generally used in pairs unless there
is asymetric routing where only the traffic on one direction flows through
the firewall and you are using a NONE polciy in the other direction. </blockquote>
<h3>Version 1.4.1<br>
</h3>
<ul>
<li>In Version 1.4.1, Shorewall will never create rules to
deal with traffic from a given group back to itself. The <i>multi</i>
interface option is no longer available so if you want to route traffic
between two subnetworks on the same interface then I recommend that you
upgrade to Version 1.4.2 and use the 'routeback' interface or host option. </li>
</ul>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.4.0</h3>
<b>IMPORTANT: Shorewall &gt;=1.4.0 </b><b>requires</b> <b>the
iproute package ('ip' utility).</b><br>
<br>
<b>Note: </b>Unfortunately, some distributions call this package
iproute2 which will cause the upgrade of Shorewall to fail with the
diagnostic:<br>
<br>
     error: failed dependencies:iproute is needed by shorewall-1.4.0-1
<br>
<br>
This may be worked around by using the --nodeps option of rpm
(rpm -Uvh --nodeps &lt;shorewall rpm&gt;).<br>
<br>
If you are upgrading from a version &lt; 1.4.0, then:<br>
<ul>
<li>The <b>noping </b>and <b>forwardping</b> interface
options are no longer supported nor is the <b>FORWARDPING </b>option
in shorewall.conf. ICMP echo-request (ping) packets are treated just
like any other connection request and are subject to rules and policies.</li>
<li>Interface names of the form &lt;device&gt;:&lt;integer&gt;
in /etc/shorewall/interfaces now generate a Shorewall error at startup
(they always have produced warnings in iptables).</li>
<li>The MERGE_HOSTS variable has been removed from shorewall.conf.
Shorewall 1.4 behaves like 1.3 did when MERGE_HOSTS=Yes; that is zone
contents are determined by BOTH the interfaces and hosts files when
there are entries for the zone in both files.</li>
<li>The <b>routestopped</b> option in the interfaces
and hosts file has been eliminated; use entries in the routestopped
file instead.</li>
<li>The Shorewall 1.2 syntax for DNAT and REDIRECT rules
is no longer accepted; you must convert to using the new syntax.</li>
<li value="6">The ALLOWRELATED variable in shorewall.conf
is no longer supported. Shorewall 1.4 behavior is the same as 1.3
with ALLOWRELATED=Yes.</li>
<li value="6">Late-arriving DNS replies are now dropped
by default; there is no need for your own /etc/shorewall/common file
simply to avoid logging these packets.</li>
<li value="6">The 'firewall', 'functions' and 'version'
file have been moved to /usr/share/shorewall.</li>
<li value="6">The icmp.def file has been removed. If you
include it from /etc/shorewall/icmpdef, you will need to modify that
file.</li>
<ul>
</ul>
<li>If you followed the advice in FAQ #2 and call find_interface_address
in /etc/shorewall/params, that code should be moved to /etc/shorewall/init.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
<h3>Version 1.4.0</h3>
<ul>
<li value="8">The 'multi' interface option is no longer supported.
 Shorewall will generate rules for sending packets back out the same
interface that they arrived on in two cases:</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>There is an <u>explicit</u> policy for the source zone
to or from the destination zone. An explicit policy names both zones
and does not use the 'all' reserved word.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>There are one or more rules for traffic for the source
zone to or from the destination zone including rules that use the 'all'
reserved word. Exception: if the source zone and destination zone are
the same then the rule must be explicit - it must name the zone in both
the SOURCE and DESTINATION columns.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.3.14</h3>
<img src="images/BD21298_3.gif" alt="" width="13"
height="13">
     Beginning in version 1.3.14, Shorewall treats entries
in <a href="Documentation.htm#Masq">/etc/shorewall/masq </a>differently.
The change involves entries with an <b>interface name</b> in the <b>SUBNET</b>
(second) <b>column</b>:<br>
<ul>
<li>Prior to 1.3.14, Shorewall would detect the FIRST
subnet on the interface (as shown by "ip addr show <i>interface</i>")
and would masquerade traffic from that subnet. Any other subnets that
routed through eth1 needed their own entry in /etc/shorewall/masq to
be masqueraded or to have SNAT applied.</li>
<li>Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14, Shorewall uses
the firewall's routing table to determine ALL subnets routed through
the named interface. Traffic originating in ANY of those subnets is
masqueraded or has SNAT applied.</li>
</ul>
You will need to make a change to your configuration
if:<br>
<ol>
<li>You have one or more entries in /etc/shorewall/masq
with an interface name in the SUBNET (second) column; and</li>
<li>That interface connects to more than one subnetwork.</li>
</ol>
Two examples:<br>
<br>
 <b>Example 1</b> -- Suppose that your current config
is as follows:<br>
   <br>
<pre> [root@gateway test]# cat /etc/shorewall/masq<br> #INTERFACE              SUBNET                  ADDRESS<br> eth0                    eth2                    206.124.146.176<br> eth0                    192.168.10.0/24         206.124.146.176<br> #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE<br> [root@gateway test]# ip route show dev eth2<br> 192.168.1.0/24  scope link<br> 192.168.10.0/24  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.10.254<br> [root@gateway test]#</pre>
<blockquote>In this case, the second entry in /etc/shorewall/masq is no longer
required.<br>
</blockquote>
<b>Example 2</b>-- What if your current configuration
is like this?<br>
<pre> [root@gateway test]# cat /etc/shorewall/masq <br> #INTERFACE              SUBNET                  ADDRESS <br> eth0                    eth2                    206.124.146.176<br> #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE <br> [root@gateway test]# ip route show dev eth2 <br> 192.168.1.0/24  scope link<br> 192.168.10.0/24  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.10.254 <br> [root@gateway test]#</pre>
<blockquote>In this case, you would want to change the entry in /etc/shorewall/masq
to:<br>
</blockquote>
<pre> #INTERFACE              SUBNET                  ADDRESS <br> eth0                    192.168.1.0/24          206.124.146.176<br> #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</pre>
<img src="images/BD21298_3.gif" alt="" width="13"
height="13">
    Version 1.3.14 also introduced simplified ICMP echo-request
(ping) handling. The option OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
is used to specify that the old (pre-1.3.14) ping handling is to
be used (If the option is not set in your /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
then OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes is assumed). I don't plan on supporting
the old handling indefinitely so I urge current users to migrate to using
the new handling as soon as possible. See the <a href="ping.html">'Ping'
handling documentation</a> for details.<br>
<h3>Version 1.3.10</h3>
If you have installed the 1.3.10 Beta 1 RPM and are
now upgrading to version 1.3.10, you will need to use the '--force'
option:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>rpm -Uvh --force shorewall-1.3.10-1.noarch.rpm </pre>
</blockquote>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.3.9</h3>
The 'functions' file has moved to /usr/lib/shorewall/functions.
If you have an application that uses functions from that file, your
application will need to be changed to reflect this change of location.<br>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.3.8</h3>
<p>If you have a pair of firewall systems configured for failover
or if you have asymmetric routing, you will need to modify
your firewall setup slightly under Shorewall
versions &gt;= 1.3.8. Beginning with version 1.3.8,
you must set NEWNOTSYN=Yes in your
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf file.</p>
<h3>Version &gt;= 1.3.7</h3>
<p>Users specifying ALLOWRELATED=No in /etc/shorewall.conf
will need to include the following
rules in their /etc/shorewall/icmpdef file (creating this
file if necessary):</p>
<pre> run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type echo-reply -j ACCEPT<br> run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type source-quench -j ACCEPT<br> run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type destination-unreachable -j ACCEPT<br> run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type time-exceeded -j ACCEPT<br> run_iptables -A icmpdef -p ICMP --icmp-type parameter-problem -j ACCEPT</pre>
<p>Users having an /etc/shorewall/icmpdef file may remove the ". /etc/shorewall/icmp.def"
command from that file since the icmp.def file is now empty.</p>
<h3><b><a name="Bering">Upgrading </a>Bering to Shorewall &gt;= 1.3.3</b></h3>
<p>To properly upgrade with Shorewall version 1.3.3 and later:</p>
<ol>
<li>Be sure you
have a backup -- you will need
to transcribe any Shorewall configuration
changes that you have made to the new
configuration.</li>
<li>Replace the
shorwall.lrp package provided on
the Bering floppy with the later one. If you did
not obtain the later version from Jacques's site,
see additional instructions below.</li>
<li>Edit the /var/lib/lrpkg/root.exclude.list
file and remove the /var/lib/shorewall
entry if present. Then do not
forget to backup root.lrp !</li>
</ol>
<p>The .lrp that I release isn't set up for a two-interface firewall like
Jacques's. You need to follow the <a
href="two-interface.htm">instructions for setting up a two-interface
firewall</a> plus you also need to add the following two Bering-specific
rules to /etc/shorewall/rules:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre># Bering specific rules:<br># allow loc to fw udp/53 for dnscache to work<br># allow loc to fw tcp/80 for weblet to work<br>#<br>ACCEPT loc fw udp 53<br>ACCEPT loc fw tcp 80</pre>
</blockquote>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.3.6 and 1.3.7</h3>
<p align="left">If you have a pair of firewall systems configured for
failover or if you have asymmetric routing, you will need to modify
your firewall setup slightly under Shorewall versions
1.3.6 and 1.3.7</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p align="left">Create the file /etc/shorewall/newnotsyn and in it add
the following rule<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier">run_iptables -A
newnotsyn -j RETURN # So that the connection tracking
table can be rebuilt<br>
                                   
# from non-SYN packets after takeover.<br>
 </font> </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">Create /etc/shorewall/common (if you don't already
have that file) and include the following:<br>
<br>
<font face="Courier">run_iptables -A
common -p tcp --tcp-flags ACK,FIN,RST ACK -j ACCEPT
#Accept Acks to rebuild connection<br>
                                                                   
#tracking table. <br>
. /etc/shorewall/common.def</font> </p>
</li>
</ol>
<h3 align="left">Versions &gt;= 1.3.5</h3>
<p align="left">Some forms of pre-1.3.0 rules file syntax are no longer
supported. </p>
<p align="left">Example 1:</p>
<div align="left">
<pre> ACCEPT net loc:192.168.1.12:22 tcp 11111 - all</pre>
</div>
<p align="left">Must be replaced with:</p>
<div align="left">
<pre> DNAT net loc:192.168.1.12:22 tcp 11111</pre>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">Example 2:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<pre> ACCEPT loc fw::3128 tcp 80 - all</pre>
</div>
<div align="left">
<p align="left">Must be replaced with:</p>
</div>
<div align="left">
<pre> REDIRECT loc 3128 tcp 80</pre>
</div>
<h3 align="left">Version &gt;= 1.3.2</h3>
<p align="left">The functions and versions files together with the 'firewall'
symbolic link have moved from /etc/shorewall to /var/lib/shorewall.
If you have applications that access these files, those
applications should be modified accordingly.</p>
