<li>A kernel that supports netfilter. I've tested with 2.4.2 - 2.4.20-pre6.
|
||
<a href="kernel.htm"> Check here for kernel configuration information.</a>
|
||
If you are looking for a firewall for use with 2.2 kernels, <a
|
||
href="http://www.shorewall.net/seawall"> see the Seattle Firewall
|
||
site</a> .</li>
|
||
<li>iptables 1.2 or later but beware version 1.2.3 -- see the <a
|
||
href="errata.htm">Errata</a>. <font color="#ff0000"><b>WARNING: </b></font>The
|
||
buggy iptables version 1.2.3 is included in RedHat 7.2 and you should
|
||
upgrade to iptables 1.2.4 prior to installing Shorewall. Version 1.2.4
|
||
is available <a
|
||
href="http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2001-144.html">from RedHat</a>
|
||
and in the <a href="errata.htm">Shorewall Errata</a>. If you are going
|
||
to be running kernel 2.4.18 or later, NO currently-available RedHat iptables
|
||
RPM will work -- again, see the <a href="errata.htm">Shorewall Errata</a>.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>Some features require iproute ("ip" utility). The iproute package
|
||
is included with most distributions but may not be installed by default.
|
||
The official download site is <a
|
||
href="ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing" target="_blank"> <font
|
||
face="Century Gothic, Arial, Helvetica">f</font>tp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing</a>.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>A Bourne shell or derivative such as bash or ash. Must have correct
|
||
support for variable expansion formats ${<i>variable</i>%<i>pattern</i>
|
||
}, ${<i>variable</i>%%<i>pattern</i>}, ${<i>variable</i>#<i>pattern</i>
|
||
} and ${<i>variable</i>##<i>pattern</i>}.</li>
|
||
<li>The firewall monitoring display is greatly improved if you have awk
|
||
(gawk) installed.</li>
