<p><strong></strong></p>
<pre>Problems corrected in Shorewall 4.2.9<br><br>1) The Shorweall-perl 4.2.8 compiler did not rename the output script<br> file with the result that:<br><br> a) Shorewall would not start for the first time after<br> installation.<br> b) Configuration changes were apparently ignored.<br><br>2) Placing a broadcast address in the BROADCAST column of<br> /etc/shorewall/interfaces caused Shorewall-perl to generate an<br> error:<br><br> ERROR: Invalid BROADCAST address : /etc/shorewall/interfaces\<br> (line 225)<br><br>3) When Shorewall could not determine the MAC address of of a gateway<br> router where multiple providers are configured through the same<br> interface, invalid iptables-restore input was generated. This<br> resulted in an error message similar to the following:<br><br> iptables-restore v1.3.5: Bad mac address `-j'<br><br>4) Shorewall-perl was not processing the tcrules file when<br> TC_ENABLED=No.<br><br>5) When 'all' appeared in the SOURCE column of a DNAT rule, no rule to<br> redirect output from the firewall itself was generated.<br> <br>6) The 'shorewall iprange' command failed to produce a minimal list of<br> networks.<br><br>New Features in Shorewall 4.2.9<br><br>1) Shorewall6 has now been validated on Ubuntu Hardy running kernel<br> 2.6.24. Shorewall6 is now supported on that kernel version.<br></pre>
