<h3 align="left"><font color="#660066"><u>To those of you who downloaded
the 1.1.13 updated firewall script prior to Sept 20, 2001:</u></font></h3>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">Prior to 20:00 20 Sept 2001 GMT, the link under 1.1.13
pointed to a broken version of the firewall script. This has now been corrected.
I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.1.18</h3>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">In the original .lrp, /etc/init.d/shorewall was not
secured for execute access. I have replaced the incorrect .lrp
(shorwall-1.1.18.lrp) with a corrected one (shorwall-1.1.18a.lrp).</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 align="left"><font color="#660066"> Version 1.1.17</font></h3>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">In shorewall.conf, ADD_IP_ALIASES was incorrectly
spelled IP_ADD_ALIASAES. There is a corrected version of the
file <a
href="ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.1.17/shorewall.conf">here.</a></p>
<p align="left">This problem is also corrected in version 1.1.18.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 align="left"><font color="#660066"> Version 1.1.16</font></h3>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"> The ADD_IP_ALIASES variable added in 1.1.16 was incorrectly
spelled IP_ADD_ALIASES in the firewall script. To correct this problem,
install the <a
href="ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.1.16/firewall"> corrected
firewall script</a> in the location pointed to by the symbolic link
/etc/shorewall/firewall.</p>

</blockquote>
<h3 align="left"><font color="#660066"> Version 1.1.12</font></h3>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"> The LRP version of Shorewall 1.1.12 has the incorrect
/etc/shorewall/functions file. This incorrect file results in many error
messages of the form:</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"> separate_list: not found</p>

<p align="left"><a

<p align="left"> There are no known problems with this version.</p>

<h3 align="left"><font color="#660066"> Version 1.1.10</font></h3>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"> If the following conditions were met:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p align="left"> A LAN segment attached to the firewall was served
by a DHCP server running on the firewall.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left"> There were entries in /etc/shorewall/hosts that referred
to the interface to that LAN segment.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p align="left"> then up until now it has been necessary to include entries
for 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 for that interface in /etc/shorewall/hosts.
<a href="ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.1.10/firewall">
This version of the firewall script</a> makes those additions unnecessary
provided that you simply include "dhcp" in the options for the interface
in /etc/shorewall/interfaces. Install the script into the location pointed
to by the symbolic link /etc/shorewall/firewall.</p>
<p align="left"> This problem has also been corrected in version 1.1.11.</p>

<h3 align="left"><font color="#660066"> Version 1.1.9</font></h3>
<ul>
<li>The shorewall "hits" command lists extraneous service names in
the final report. <a

version of the shorewall script</a> corrects this problem.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.1.8</h3>
<ul>
<li>Under some circumstances, the "dhcp" option on an interface triggers
a bug in the firewall script that results in a "chain already exists"
error. <a
href="ftp://ftp.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/errata/1.1.8/firewall"> This
version of the firewall script</a> corrects this problem. Install
it into the location pointed to by the symbolic link /etc/shorewall/firewall.<br>
<br>
This problem is also corrected in version 1.1.9.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 align="left">Version 1.1.7</h3>
<ul>
<li>If the /etc/shorewall/rules template from version 1.1.7 is used,
a warning message appears during firewall startup:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD> Warning: Invalid Target - rule "@ icmp-unreachable packet."
ignored<br>
<br>
This warning may be eliminated by replacing the "@" in column 1 of
line 17 with "#"</li>
