Shorewall 2.3.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Problems corrected in version 2.3.0
None.

New Features in version 2.3.0
1) Shorewall 2.3.0 supports the 'cmd-owner' option of the owner match
facility in Netfilter. Like all owner match options, 'cmd-owner' may
only be applied to traffic that originates on the firewall.
The syntax of the USER/GROUP column in the following files has been
extended:
/etc/shorewall/accounting
/etc/shorewall/rules
/etc/shorewall/tcrules
/usr/share/shorewall/action.template
To specify a command, prefix the command name with "+".
Examples:
+mozilla-bin #The program is named "mozilla-bin"
joe+mozilla-bin #The program is named "mozilla-bin" and
#is being run by user "joe"
joe:users+mozilla-bin #The program is named "mozilla-bin" and
#is being run by user "joe" with
#effective group "users".
Note that this is not a particularly robust feature and I would
never advertise it as a "Personal Firewall" equivalent. Using
symbolic links, it's easy to alias command names to be anything you
want.
