<p><strong>2009-01-06 Winner of the Shorewall Logo Design Competition
Announced</strong></p>
The Shorewall developers are pleased to announce that after deliberating<br>
upon the matter, we have chosen Gareth Davies' #3 design.<br>
<p>See<a target="_top"
href="http://trac.shorewall.net/wiki/LogoDesignCompetition">
http://trac.shorewall.net/wiki/LogoDesignCompetition</a> for details.<br>
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>2008-12-31 Shorewall 4.2.4</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<pre>1) In 4.2.4, two new packages are included:<br><br> a) Shorewall6 - analagous to Shorewall-common but handles IPv6<br> rather than IPv4.<br><br> b) Shorewall6-lite - analagous to Shorewall-lite but handles IPv6<br> rather than IPv4.<br><br> The packages store their configurations in /etc/shorewall6/ and<br> /etc/shorewall6-lite/ respectively. <br><br> The fact that the packages are separate from their IPv4 counterparts<br> means that you control IPv4 and IPv6 traffic separately (the same<br> way that Netfilter does). Starting/Stopping the firewall for one<br> address family has no effect on the other address family.<br><br> For additional information, see<br> http://www.shorewall.net/IPV6Support.html.<br><br> Other features of Shorewall6 are:<br><br> a) There is no NAT of any kind (most people see this as a giant step<br> forward). When an ISP assigns you a public IPv6 address, you are<br> actually assigned an IPv6 'prefix' which is like an IPv4<br> subnet. A 64-bit prefix allows 4 billion squared individual hosts<br> (the size of the current IPv4 address space squared).<br><br> b) The default zone type is ipv6.<br><br> c) The currently-supported interface options in Shorewall6 are:<br><br> blacklist<br> bridge<br> dhcp<br> nosmurfs (traps multicast and Subnet-router anycast addresses<br> used as the packet source address).<br> optional<br> routeback<br> sourceroute<br> tcpflags<br><br> Other features of Shorewall6 are:<br><br> a) There is no NAT of any kind (most people see this as a giant step<br> forward).

The tcdevices and<br> tcclasses files are address-family independent so<br> to use the Shorewall builtin Traffic Shaper, TC_ENABLED=Internal<br> should be specified in Shorewall or in Shorewall6 but not in<br> both. In the configuration where the internal traffic shaper is<br> not enabled, CLEAR_TC=No should be specified.<br><br> tcfilters are not available in Shorewall6.<br><br> f) When both an interface and an address or address list need to<br> be specified in a rule, the address or list must be enclosed in<br> angle brackets. Example:<br><br> #ACTION SOURCE DEST<br> ACCEPT net:eth0:&lt;2001:19f0:feee::dead:beef:cafe&gt; dmz<br><br> Note that this includes MAC addresses as well as IPv6 addresses.<br><br> The HOSTS column in /etc/shorewall6/hosts also uses this<br> convention:<br><br> #ZONE HOSTS OPTIONS<br> chat6 eth0:&lt;2001:19f0:feee::dead:beef:cafe&gt;<br><br> Even when an interface is not specified, it is permitted to<br> enclose addresses in &lt;&gt; to improve readability. Example:<br><br> #ACTION SOURCE DEST<br> ACCEPT net:&lt;2001:1::1&gt; $FW<br><br> g) The options available in shorewall6.conf are a subset of those<br> available in shorewall.conf.<br><br> h) The Socket6.pm Perl module is required if you include DNS names<br> in your Shorewall6 configuration. Note that it is loaded the<br> first time that a DNS name is encountered so if it is missing,<br> you get a message similar to this one:<br><br> ...<br> Checking /etc/shorewall6/rules...<br> Can't locate Socket6.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /root ...<br> teastep@ursa:~/Configs/standalone6$ <br></pre>
