< / ol >
< p > < b > New Features:< / b > < br >
< / p >
< ol >
< li > Shorewall now creates a dynamic blacklisting chain for each interface
defined in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. The 'drop' and 'reject' commands use
the routing table to determine which of these chains is to be used for blacklisting
the specified IP address(es).< br >
< br >
Two new commands ('dropall' and 'rejectall') have been introduced that
do what 'drop' and 'reject' used to do; namely, when an address is blacklisted
using these new commands, it will be blacklisted on all of your firewall's
interfaces.< / li >
< li > Thanks to Steve Herber, the 'help' command can now give command-specific
help (e.g., shorewall help < command> ).< / li >
< li > A new option "ADMINISABSENTMINDED" has been added to /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.
This option has a default value of "No" for existing users which causes
Shorewall's 'stopped' state <20> to continue as it has been; namely, in the
stopped state only traffic to/from hosts listed in /etc/shorewall/routestopped
is accepted.< br >
< br >
With ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes (the default for new installs), in addition
to traffic to/from the hosts listed in /etc/shorewall/routestopped, Shorewall
will allow:< br >
< br >
<20> <> a) All traffic originating from the firewall itself; and< br >
<20> <> b) All traffic that is part of or related to an already-existing connection.< br >
< br >
<20> In particular, with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, a "shorewall stop" entered
through an ssh session will not kill the session.< br >
< br >
<20> Note though that even with ADMINISABSENTMINDED=Yes, it is still possible
for people to shoot themselves in the foot.< br >
< br >
<20> Example:< br >
< br >
<20> /etc/shorewall/nat:< br >
< br >
<20> <20> <20> 206.124.146.178<EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> eth0:0<> <30> <EFBFBD> 192.168.1.5<EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> < br >
< br >
<20> /etc/shorewall/rules:< br >
< br >
<20> <> ACCEPT<50> <54> <EFBFBD> net<65> <74> <EFBFBD> loc:192.168.1.5<EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> tcp<63> <70> <EFBFBD> 22< br >

< br >
From a remote system, I ssh to 206.124.146.178 which establishes an SSH
connection with local system 192.168.1.5. I then create a second SSH connection
from that computer to the firewall and confidently type "shorewall stop".
As part of its stop processing, Shorewall removes eth0:0 which kills my SSH
connection to 192.168.1.5!!!< / li >

around.< br >

< / li >
< li > Where a list of IP addresses appears in the DEST column of

in 1.4.6 to allow entries of the following format:< br >

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 < first address> -< last address> .< 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 >

If this extension is available, the ruleset generated by
Shorewall is changed in the following ways:< / li >

2003-08-05 20:38:21 +02:00
< 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 >

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 >

< li > An 'iprange' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall. < br >
< br >
<20> <> <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> <EFBFBD> iprange < address> -< address> < 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 >

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

< 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. Up to 256 servers may be specified in a range
of addresses given as < first address> -< last address> .< br >
< br >
Example:< br >
< br >
<20> <20> DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp 80< br >
< br >
Note that this capability has previously been available using
a combination of a DNAT- rule and one or more ACCEPT rules. That technique
is still preferable for load-balancing over a large number of servers
(> 16) since specifying a range in the DNAT rule causes one filter
table ACCEPT rule to be generated for each IP address in the range.< br >

< li > The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT configuration
options have been removed and have been replaced by code that detects

< / 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 >

The Fireparse --log-prefix fiasco continues. Tuomo Soini
has pointed out that the code in 1.4.4 restricts the length of short
zone names to 4 characters. I've produced version 1.4.4a that restores
the previous 5-character limit by conditionally omitting the log
rule number when the LOGFORMAT doesn't contain '%d'. < br >

< li > Routing traffic from an interface back out
that interface continues to be a problem. While I firmly believe
that this should never happen, people continue to want to do it.
To limit the damage that such nonsense produces, I have added a
new 'routeback' option in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and /etc/shorewall/hosts.
When used in /etc/shorewall/interfaces, the 'ZONE' column may not
contain '-'; in other words, 'routeback' can't be used as an option
for a multi-zone interface. The 'routeback' option CAN be specified
however on individual group entries in /etc/shorewall/hosts.< br >
<20> < br >
The 'routeback' option is similar to the old
'multi' option with two exceptions:< br >
<20> < br >
<20> <> a) The option pertains to a particular zone,interface,address
tuple.< br >
<20> < br >
<20> <> b) The option only created infrastructure
to pass traffic from (zone,interface,address) tuples back to themselves
(the 'multi' option affected all (zone,interface,address) tuples
associated with the given 'interface').< br >
<20> < br >
See the '< a href = "upgrade_issues.htm" > Upgrade
Issues< / a > ' for information about how this new option may affect
your configuration.< br >

ping handling is as it has always been (see http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).< br >
< br >
When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No,
icmp echo (ping) is handled via rules and policies just

in shorewall.conf and the 'noping' and 'filterping' options

Shorewall to create a "label" such as<61> "eth0:0" for IP

name:< br >

< li > In /etc/shorewall/tcrules, the
MARK value may be optionally followed by ":" and either 'F'
or 'P' to designate that the marking will occur in the FORWARD
or PREROUTING chains respectively. If this additional specification
is omitted, the chain used to mark packets will be determined

< li > When an interface name is
entered in the SUBNET column of the /etc/shorewall/masq
file, Shorewall previously masqueraded traffic from only
the first subnet defined on that interface. It did not masquerade
traffic from:< br >
<20> < br >
<20> <> a) The subnets associated
with other addresses on the interface.< br >
<20> <> b) Subnets accessed through
local routers.< br >
<20> < br >
Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14,
if you enter an interface name in the SUBNET column,
shorewall will use the firewall's routing table to construct
the masquerading/SNAT rules.< br >

When upgrading to Shorewall
1.3.14, if you have multiple local subnets connected
to an interface that is specified in the SUBNET column of an
/etc/shorewall/masq entry, your /etc/shorewall/masq file
will need changing. In most cases, you will simply be able to remove
redundant entries. In some cases though, you might want to change
from using the interface name to listing specific subnetworks
if the change described above will cause masquerading to occur on subnetworks
that you don't wish to masquerade.< br >

< li > An OLD_PING_HANDLING
option has been added to shorewall.conf. When set to
Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been (see
http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).< br >
< br >
When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No,
icmp echo (ping) is handled via rules and policies just
like any other connection request. The FORWARDPING=Yes option
in shorewall.conf and the 'noping' and 'filterping' options
in /etc/shorewall/interfaces will all generate an error.< br >
< br >
< / li >
< li > It is now possible to
direct Shorewall to create a "label" such as<61> "eth0:0"
for IP addresses that it creates under ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes and
ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes. This is done by specifying the label instead
of just the interface name:< br >
<20> < br >
<20> <> a) In the INTERFACE column
of /etc/shorewall/masq< br >
<20> <> b) In the INTERFACE column
of /etc/shorewall/nat< br >
<20> < / li >
< li > When an interface name
is entered in the SUBNET column of the /etc/shorewall/masq
file, Shorewall previously masqueraded traffic from only
the first subnet defined on that interface. It did not masquerade
traffic from:< br >
<20> < br >
<20> <> a) The subnets associated
with other addresses on the interface.< br >
<20> <> b) Subnets accessed through
local routers.< br >
<20> < br >
Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14,
if you enter an interface name in the SUBNET column,
shorewall will use the firewall's routing table to construct
the masquerading/SNAT rules.< br >
<20> < br >
Example 1 -- This is how it
works in 1.3.14.< br >

When upgrading to Shorewall
1.3.14, if you have multiple local subnets connected
to an interface that is specified in the SUBNET column of an
/etc/shorewall/masq entry, your /etc/shorewall/masq file
will need changing. In most cases, you will simply be able to remove
redundant entries. In some cases though, you might want to change
from using the interface name to listing specific subnetworks
if the change described above will cause masquerading to occur on subnetworks
that you don't wish to masquerade.< br >

< li > A new 'DNAT-' action
has been added for entries in the /etc/shorewall/rules
file. DNAT- is intended for advanced users who wish
to minimize the number of rules that connection requests
must traverse.< br >
< br >
A Shorewall DNAT rule actually
generates two iptables rules: a header rewriting rule
in the 'nat' table and an ACCEPT rule in the 'filter' table.
A DNAT- rule only generates the first of these rules. This
is handy when you have several DNAT rules that would generate
the same ACCEPT rule.< br >
< br >
<20> <> Here are three rules
from my previous rules file:< br >

< li > The 'shorewall check'
command now prints out the applicable policy between
each pair of zones.< br >
< br >
< / li >
< li > A new CLEAR_TC option
has been added to shorewall.conf. If this option is
set to 'No' then Shorewall won't clear the current traffic
control rules during [re]start. This setting is intended for
use by people that prefer to configure traffic shaping when the
network interfaces come up rather than when the firewall is started.
If that is what you want to do, set TC_ENABLED=Yes and CLEAR_TC=No
and do not supply an /etc/shorewall/tcstart file. That way, your
traffic shaping rules can still use the 'fwmark' classifier based
on packet marking defined in /etc/shorewall/tcrules.< br >
< br >
< / li >
< li > A new SHARED_DIR
variable has been added that allows distribution packagers
to easily move the shared directory (default /usr/lib/shorewall).
Users should never have a need to change the value of this
shorewall.conf setting.< br >

< li > The 'icmp.def' file is now empty! The
rules in that file were required in ipchains
firewalls but are not required in Shorewall. Users
who have ALLOWRELATED=No in < a

< li > A 'FORWARDPING' option has been added
to < a href = "Documentation.htm#Conf" > shorewall.conf< / a > .
The effect of setting this variable to
Yes is the same as the effect of adding an ACCEPT
rule for ICMP echo-request in < a

SYN and ICMP treatment in Shorewall.
That input has led to marked improvement
in Shorewall in the last two releases.< / p >

< li > A "shorewall try" command has been added
(syntax: shorewall try < i > < configuration
directory> < / i > ). This command attempts "shorewall
-c < i > < configuration directory> < / i >
start" and if that results in the firewall being stopped
due to an error, a "shorewall start" command is executed.
The 'try' command allows you to create a new < a

2003-08-05 20:38:21 +02:00
to start it; if there is an error that leaves your
firewall in the stopped state, it will automatically be restarted
using the default configuration (in /etc/shorewall).< / li >

and has the name "lock".< / li >

may be set to "no" (or "No") to
inhibit this behavior. This allows IP aliases
created using your distribution's network configuration
tools to be used in static NAT.<2E> < / li >

is specified when starting or restarting Shorewall

will first look for configuration files in the alternate
directory then in /etc/shorewall. To create an
alternate configuration simply:< br >
