|
|
<para>There has been a low continuing level of confusion over the
|
|
terms <quote>Source NAT</quote> (SNAT) and <quote>Static NAT</quote>.
|
|
To avoid future confusion, all instances of <quote>Static NAT</quote>
|
|
have been replaced with <quote>One-to-one NAT</quote> in the
|
|
documentation and configuration files.</para>

</listitem>

<listitem>
|

<para>The description of NEWNOTSYN in shorewall.conf has been reworded
|
|
for clarity.</para>

<listitem>
|
|
<para>Wild-card rules (those involving <quote>all</quote> as SOURCE or
|
|
DEST) will no longer produce an error if they attempt to add a rule
|
|
that would override a NONE policy. The logic for expanding these
|
|
wild-card rules now simply skips those (SOURCE,DEST) pairs that have a
|
|
NONE policy.</para>

<title>New Features</title>

<para>These are the new features added since Shorewall 1.4.8</para>

<orderedlist>
|

<listitem>
|
|
<para>To cut down on the number of <quote>Why are these ports closed
|
|
rather than stealthed?</quote> questions, the SMB-related rules in
|
|
/etc/shorewall/common.def have been changed from <quote>reject</quote>
|
|
to <quote>DROP</quote>.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>For easier identification, packets logged under the
|
|
<quote>norfc1918</quote> interface option are now logged out of chains
|
|
named <quote>rfc1918</quote>. Previously, such packets were logged
|
|
under chains named <quote>logdrop</quote>.</para>

|
<para>Distributors and developers seem to be regularly inventing new
|
|
naming conventions for kernel modules. To avoid the need to change
|
|
Shorewall code for each new convention, the MODULE_SUFFIX option has
|
|
been added to shorewall.conf. MODULE_SUFFIX may be set to the suffix
|
|
for module names in your particular distribution. If MODULE_SUFFIX is
|
|
not set in shorewall.conf, Shorewall will use the list <quote>o gz ko
|
|
o.gz</quote>. To see what suffix is used by your distribution:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting>ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter</programlisting>
|
|
|
|
<para>All of the files listed should have the same suffix (extension).
|
|
Set MODULE_SUFFIX to that suffix. Examples:</para>
|
|
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>If all files end in <quote>.kzo</quote> then set
|
|
MODULE_SUFFIX="kzo"</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>If all files end in <quote>.kz.o</quote> then set
|
|
MODULE_SUFFIX="kz.o"</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
</listitem>

|
|
<para>Support for user defined rule ACTIONS has been implemented
|
|
through two new files: <itemizedlist><listitem><para>/etc/shorewall/actions
|
|
- used to list the user-defined ACTIONS.</para></listitem><listitem><para>/etc/shorewall/action.template
|
|
- For each user defined <action>:</para><orderedlist><listitem><para>copy
|
|
this file to /etc/shorewall/action.<action></para></listitem><listitem><para>Add
|
|
the appropriate rules in that file for the <action>.</para></listitem></orderedlist></listitem></itemizedlist>Once
|
|
an <action> has been defined, it may be used like any of the
|
|
builtin ACTIONS (ACCEPT, DROP, etc.) in /etc/shorewall/rules.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Example: You want an action that logs a packet at the
|
|
<quote>info</quote> level and accepts the connection.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In /etc/shorewall/actions, you would add:</para>
|
|
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>LogAndAccept</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
|
|
|
|
<para>You would then copy /etc/shorewall/action.template to
|
|
/etc/shorewall/action.LogAndAccept and in that file, you would add the
|
|
two rules:</para>
|
|
|
|
<simplelist>
|
|
<member>LOG:info</member>
|
|
|
|
<member>ACCEPT</member>
|
|
</simplelist>
