This is a minor release of Shorewall which rolls up a number of bug
|
|
fixes.
|
|
|
|
New features include:
|
|
|
|
1) The 'icmp.def' file is now empty! The rules in that file were
|
|
required in ipchains firewalls but are not required in Shorewall.
|
|
Users who have ALLOWRELATED=No in shorewall.conf should see the
|
|
Upgrade Issues.
|
|
2) A 'FORWARDPING' option has been added to shorewall.conf. The effect
|
|
of setting this variable to Yes is the same as the effect of adding
|
|
an ACCEPT rule for ICMP echo-request in
|
|
/etc/shorewall/icmpdef. Users who have such a rule in icmpdef are
|
|
encouraged to switch to FORWARDPING=Yes.
|
|
3) The loopback CLASS A Network (127.0.0.0/8) has been added to the
|
|
rfc1918 file.
|
|
4) Shorewall now works with iptables 1.2.7.
|
|
5) The documentation and Web site no longer use FrontPage themes.
|
|
|
|
I would like to thank John Distler for his valuable input regarding TCP
|
|
SYN and ICMP treatment in Shorewall. That input has led to marked
|
|
improvement in Shorewall in the last two releases.
