</div>
<p>Problems Corrected since version 1.4.8:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>There has been a low continuing level of confusion over the
terms "Source NAT" (SNAT) and "Static NAT". To avoid future confusion,
all instances of "Static NAT" have been replaced with "One-to-one NAT"
in the documentation and configuration files.</li>
<li>The description of NEWNOTSYN in shorewall.conf has been
reworded for clarity.</li>
<li>Wild-card rules (those involving "all" as SOURCE or DEST)
will no longer produce an error if they attempt to add a rule that would
override a NONE policy. The logic for expanding these wild-card rules
now simply skips those (SOURCE,DEST) pairs that have a NONE policy.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Migration Issues:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; None.<br>
<br>
New Features:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>To cut down on the number of "Why are these ports closed
rather than stealthed?" questions, the SMB-related rules in
/etc/shorewall/common.def have been changed from 'reject' to 'DROP'.</li>
<li>For easier identification, packets logged under the
'norfc1918' interface option are now logged out of chains named
'rfc1918'. Previously, such packets were logged under chains named
'logdrop'.</li>
<li>Distributors and developers seem to be regularly inventing
new naming conventions for kernel modules. To avoid the need to change
Shorewall code for each new convention, the MODULE_SUFFIX option has
been added to shorewall.conf. MODULE_SUFFIX may be set to the suffix
for module names in your particular distribution. If MODULE_SUFFIX is
not set in shorewall.conf, Shorewall will use the list "o gz ko o.gz".<br>
<br>
To see what suffix is used by your distribution:<br>
<br>
ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter<br>
<br>
All of the files listed should have the same suffix (extension). Set
MODULE_SUFFIX to that suffix.<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If all files end in ".kzo" then set
MODULE_SUFFIX="kzo"<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If all files end in ".kz.o" then set
MODULE_SUFFIX="kz.o"</li>
<li>Support for user defined rule ACTIONS has been implemented
through two new files:<br>
<br>
/etc/shorewall/actions - used to list the user-defined ACTIONS.<br>
/etc/shorewall/action.template - For each user defined &lt;action&gt;,
copy this file to /etc/shorewall/action.&lt;action&gt; and add the
appropriate rules for that &lt;action&gt;. Once an &lt;action&gt; has
been defined, it may be used like any of the builtin ACTIONS (ACCEPT,
DROP, etc.) in /etc/shorewall/rules.<br>
<br>
Example: You want an action that logs a packet at the 'info' level and
accepts the connection.<br>
<br>
In /etc/shorewall/actions, you would add:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; LogAndAccept<br>
<br>
You would then copy /etc/shorewall/action.template to
/etc/shorewall/LogAndAccept and in that file, you would add the two
rules:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; LOG:info<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ACCEPT<br>
