<h2 align="left">What is it?</h2>
<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>

<p><b>7/7/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.6 Beta 2</b><b> <img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
<br>
</b></p>
<p><b>Problems Corrected:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A problem seen on RH7.3 systems where Shorewall encountered start
errors when started using the "service" mechanism has been worked around.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Where a list of IP addresses appears in the DEST column of a
DNAT[-] rule, Shorewall incorrectly created multiple DNAT rules in the nat
table (one for each element in the list). Shorewall now correctly creates
a single DNAT rule with multiple "--to-destination" clauses.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Corrected a problem in Beta 1 where DNS names containing a "-"
were mis-handled when they appeared in the DEST column of a rule.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>In earlier versions, an undocumented feature allowed entries
in the host file as follows:<br>
<br>
<20> <20> z<><7A><EFBFBD> eth1:192.168.1.0/24,eth2:192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
This capability was never documented and has been removed in 1.4.6 to allow
entries of the following format:<br>
<br>
<20> <20> z<><7A> eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT options have been
removed from /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. These capabilities are now automatically
detected by Shorewall (see below).<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>New Features:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A 'newnotsyn' interface option has been added. This option may
be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and overrides the setting NEWNOTSYN=No
for packets arriving on the associated interface.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The means for specifying a range of IP addresses in /etc/shorewall/masq
to use for SNAT is now documented. ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes is enabled for address
ranges.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Shorewall can now add IP addresses to subnets other than the
first one on an interface.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance (round-robin) over
a set of servers. Servers may be specified in a range of addresses given
as &lt;first address&gt;-&lt;last address&gt;.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
<20> <20> DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp 80<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT configuration options
have been removed and have been replaced by code that detects whether these
capabilities are present in the current kernel. The output of the start,
restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the outcome:<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
<20> <20>NAT: Available<br>
<20> <20>Packet Mangling: Available<br>
<20> <20>Multi-port Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Support for the Connection Tracking Match Extension has been
added. This extension is available in recent kernel/iptables releases and
allows for rules which match against elements in netfilter's connection
tracking table. Shorewall automatically detects the availability of this
extension and reports its availability in the output of the start, restart
and check commands.<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
<20> <20>NAT: Available<br>
<20> <20>Packet Mangling: Available<br>
<20> <20>Multi-port Match: Available<br>
<20> <20>Connection Tracking Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
If this extension is available, the ruleset generated by Shorewall is changed
in the following ways:</li>
<ul>
<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not create
chains in the mangle table but will rather do all 'norfc1918' filtering
in the filter table (rfc1918 chain).</li>
<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two netfilter rules;
one in the nat table and one in the filter table. If the Connection Tracking
Match Extension is available, the rule in the filter table is extended to
check that the original destination address was the same as specified (or
defaulted to) in the DNAT rule.<br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>The shell used to interpret the firewall script (/usr/share/shorewall/firewall)
may now be specified using the SHOREWALL_SHELL parameter in shorewall.conf.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>An 'ipcalc' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall.<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> ipcalc [ &lt;address&gt; &lt;netmask&gt; | &lt;address&gt;/&lt;vlsm&gt;
]<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
Warning:<br>
<br>
If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or dash), then
the ipcalc command produces incorrect information for IP addresses 128.0.0.0-1
and for /1 networks. Bash should produce correct information for all valid
IP addresses.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>An 'iprange' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall. <br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> iprange &lt;address&gt;-&lt;address&gt;<br>
<br>
This command decomposes a range of IP addressses into a list of network
and host addresses. The command can be useful if you need to construct an
efficient set of rules that accept connections from a range of network addresses.<br>
<br>
Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic (ash or dash)
then the range may not span 128.0.0.0.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@gateway root]# shorewall iprange 192.168.1.4-192.168.12.9<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.4/30<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.8/29<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.16/28<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.32/27<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.64/26<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.1.128/25<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.2.0/23<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.4.0/22<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.8.0/22<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.12.0/29<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 192.168.12.8/31<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@gateway root]#<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A list of host/net addresses is now allowed in an entry in /etc/shorewall/hosts.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD> foo<6F><6F><EFBFBD> eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>6/17/2003 - Shorewall-1.4.5</b><b> </b></p>
<p>Problems Corrected:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>The command "shorewall debug try &lt;directory&gt;" now
correctly traces the attempt.</li>
<li>The INCLUDE directive now works properly in the zones
file; previously, INCLUDE in that file was ignored.</li>
<li>/etc/shorewall/routestopped records with an empty second
column are no longer ignored.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>New Features:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>The ORIGINAL DEST column in a DNAT[-] or REDIRECT[-] rule
may now contain a list of addresses. If the list begins with "!' then
the rule will take effect only if the original destination address in
the connection request does not match any of the addresses listed.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>6/15/2003 - Shorewall, Kernel 2.4.21 and iptables 1.2.8</b><b>
</b></p>
<p>The firewall at shorewall.net has been upgraded to the 2.4.21 kernel
and iptables 1.2.8 (using the "official" RPM from netfilter.org). No
problems have been encountered with this set of software. The Shorewall
version is 1.4.4b plus the accumulated changes for 1.4.5.<br>
</p>
<p><b>6/8/2003 - Updated Samples</b><b> </b></p>
<p>Thanks to Francesca Smith, the samples have been updated to Shorewall
version 1.4.4.</p>
