|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Be sure you have a backup -- you will need
|
|
|
|
|
|
to transcribe any Shorewall configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
changes that you have made to the new
|
|
|
|
|
|
configuration.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Replace the shorwall.lrp package provided on
|
|
|
|
|
|
the Bering floppy with the later one. If you did
|
|
|
|
|
|
not obtain the later version from Jacques's
|
|
|
|
|
|
site, see additional instructions below.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Edit the /var/lib/lrpkg/root.exclude.list
|
|
|
|
|
|
file and remove the /var/lib/shorewall entry if
|
|
|
|
|

present. Then do not forget to backup root.lrp !</li>

<p>The .lrp that I release isn't set up for a two-interface firewall like

Jacques's. You need to follow the <a href="two-interface.htm">instructions for
|
|
|
|
|
|
setting up a two-interface firewall</a> plus you also need to add the following

|

two Bering-specific rules to /etc/shorewall/rules:</p>
|

<blockquote>

# allow loc to fw udp/53 for dnscache to work
