<a href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a> (iptables) based firewall

gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system.</p>

9/28/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.9<EFBFBD></b><b> </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><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<6C></b><b>
</b><br>
</p>
<p>Apt-get sources listed at <a

<b> </b>
<p><b>9/16/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.8</b><b> </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><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>
