<p>The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is a
<a href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a> (iptables) based firewall
that can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function
gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system.</p>

<h2>News</h2>
<p><b>9/28/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.9</b></p>
<p>In this version:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="configuration_file_basics.htm#dnsnames">DNS Names</a>
are now allowed in Shorewall config files (although I recommend against
using them).</li>
<li>The connection SOURCE may now be qualified by both interface
and IP address in a <a href="Documentation.htm#Rules">Shorewall rule</a>.</li>
<li>Shorewall startup is now disabled after initial installation
until the file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled is removed. This avoids
nasty surprises at reboot for users who install Shorewall but don't configure
it.</li>
<li>The 'functions' and 'version' files and the 'firewall' symbolic
link have been moved from /var/lib/shorewall to /usr/lib/shorewall to appease
the LFS police at Debian.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>9/23/2002 - Full Shorewall Site/Mailing List Archive Search Capability
Restored</b><b> </b><b><img border="0" src="images/new10.gif"
width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
</b><br>
</p>
<img src="images/j0233056.gif" alt="Brown Paper Bag"
width="50" height="86" align="left">
A couple of recent configuration changes at www.shorewall.net broke
the Search facility:<br>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Mailing List Archive Search was not available.</li>
<li>The Site Search index was incomplete</li>
<li>Only one page of matches was presented.</li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
Hopefully these problems are now corrected.
<p><b>9/18/2002 - Debian 1.3.8 Packages Available </b><b><img

<p><b>9/16/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.8 </b><b><img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
</b></p>
<p>In this version:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>A NEWNOTSYN option has been added to shorewall.conf.
This option determines whether Shorewall accepts TCP packets which
are not part of an established connection and that are not 'SYN' packets
(SYN flag on and ACK flag off).</li>
<li>The need for the 'multi' option to communicate
between zones za and zb on the same interface is removed in the case
where the chain 'za2zb' and/or 'zb2za' exists. 'za2zb' will exist if:
<ul>
<li>There is a policy for za to zb; or</li>
<li>There is at least one rule for za to zb.
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The /etc/shorewall/blacklist file now contains
three columns. In addition to the SUBNET/ADDRESS column, there are
optional PROTOCOL and PORT columns to block only certain applications
from the blacklisted addresses.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>9/11/2002 - Debian 1.3.7c Packages Available </b></p>
<p>Apt-get sources listed at <a
href="http://security.dsi.unimi.it/%7Elorenzo/debian.html">http://security.dsi.unimi.it/~lorenzo/debian.html</a>.</p>
<p><b>9/2/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.7c</b></p>
<p>This is a role up of a fix for "DNAT" rules where the source zone
is $FW (fw).</p>
<p><b>8/26/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.7b</b></p>
<p>This is a role up of the "shorewall refresh" bug fix and the change
which reverses the order of "dhcp" and "norfc1918" checking.</p>
