<big><font color="#cc0000"><b>This last point is important. If you run your
own outgoing mail server and it doesn't have a valid DNS PTR record, your
email won't reach the lists unless/until the postmaster notices that your
posts are being rejected. To avoid this problem, you should configure your
MTA to forward posts to shorewall.net through an MTA that <u>does</u> have
a valid PTR record (such as the one at your ISP). </b></font></big><br>
<h2>Please post in plain text</h2>
A growing number of MTAs serving list subscribers are
rejecting all HTML traffic. At least one MTA has gone so far as to
blacklist shorewall.net "for continuous abuse" because it has been my
policy to allow HTML in list posts!!<br>
<br>
I think that blocking all HTML is a Draconian way to
control spam and that the ultimate losers here are not the spammers
but the list subscribers whose MTAs are bouncing all shorewall.net
mail. As one list subscriber wrote to me privately "These e-mail admin's
need to get a <i>(explitive deleted)</i> life instead of trying to rid
the planet of HTML based e-mail". Nevertheless, to allow subscribers
to receive list posts as must as possible, I have now configured the
list server at shorewall.net to strip all HTML from outgoing posts.
This means that HTML-only posts will be bounced by the list server.<br>

<h2>Other Mail Delivery Problems</h2>
If you find that you are missing an occasional list post,
your e-mail admin may be blocking mail whose <i>Received:</i> headers
contain the names of certain ISPs. Again, I believe that such policies
hurt more than they help but I'm not prepared to go so far as to start
stripping <i>Received:</i> headers to circumvent those policies.<br>

Shorewall 'Ping' management has evolved over time with the latest change
coming in Shorewall version 1.4.0. <br>
<h2>Shorewall Versions &gt;= 1.4.0</h2>
In Shoreall 1.4.0 and later version, ICMP echo-request's are treated just
like any other connection request.<br>
<br>
In order to accept ping requests from zone z1 to zone z2 where the policy
for z1 to z2 is not ACCEPT, you need a rule in /etc/shoreall/rules of the
form:<br>
<blockquote>ACCEPT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>z1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; z2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</i>icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
</blockquote>
Example: <br>
<br>
To permit ping from the local zone to the firewall:<br>
<blockquote>ACCEPT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; loc&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fw&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
</blockquote>
If you would like to accept 'ping' by default even when the relevant
policy is DROP or REJECT, create <b>/etc/shorewall/icmpdef </b>if it doesn't
already exist and in that file place the following command:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="#009900">run_iptables -A icmpdef -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT<br></font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
With that rule in place, if you want to ignore 'ping' from z1 to z2 then
you need a rule of the form:<br>
<blockquote>DROP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>z1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; z2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</i>icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
</blockquote>
Example:<br>
<br>
To drop ping from the internet, you would need this rule in /etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>DROP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; net&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fw&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
</blockquote>
<h2>Shorewall Versions &gt;= 1.3.14 &nbsp;and &lt; 1.4.0 with OLD_PING_HANDLING=No
in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</h2>
In 1.3.14, Ping handling was put under control of the rules and policies
just like any other connection request. In order to accept ping requests
from zone z1 to zone z2 where the policy for z1 to z2 is not ACCEPT, you
need a rule in /etc/shoreall/rules of the form:<br>
<blockquote>ACCEPT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>z1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; z2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</i>icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
</blockquote>

<br>
To permit ping from the local zone to the firewall:<br>
<blockquote>ACCEPT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; loc&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fw&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
</blockquote>
If you would like to accept 'ping' by default even when the relevant
policy is DROP or REJECT, create <b>/etc/shorewall/icmpdef </b>if it doesn't
already exist and in that file place the following command:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre><b><font color="#009900">run_iptables -A icmpdef -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT<br></font></b></pre>
</blockquote>
With that rule in place, if you want to ignore 'ping' from z1 to z2 then
you need a rule of the form:<br>
<blockquote>DROP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>z1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; z2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</i>icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
</blockquote>
Example:<br>
<br>

<h2>Shorewall Versions &lt; 1.3.14 or with OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf<br>
</h2>
There are several aspects to the old Shorewall Ping management:<br>
<ol>
<li>The <b>noping</b> and <b>filterping </b>interface options in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>.</li>
<li>The <b>FORWARDPING</b> option in<a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf"> /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf</a>.</li>
<li>Explicit rules in <a href="Documentation.htm#Rules">/etc/shorewall/rules</a>.</li>
</ol>
There are two cases to consider:<br>
<ol>
<li>Ping requests addressed to the firewall itself; and</li>
<li>Ping requests being forwarded to another system. Included here
are all cases of packet forwarding including NAT, DNAT rule, Proxy ARP and
simple routing.</li>
</ol>
These cases will be covered separately.<br>
<h3>Ping Requests Addressed to the Firewall Itself</h3>
For ping requests addressed to the firewall, the sequence is as follows:<br>
<ol>
<li>If neither <b>noping</b> nor <b>filterping </b>are specified for
the interface that receives the ping request then the request will be responded
to with an ICMP echo-reply.</li>
<li>If <b>noping</b> is specified for the interface that receives
the ping request then the request is ignored.</li>
<li>If <b>filterping </b>is specified for the interface then the request
is passed to the rules/policy evaluation.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Ping Requests Forwarded by the Firewall</h3>
These requests are <b>always</b> passed to rules/policy evaluation.<br>
<h3>Rules Evaluation</h3>
Ping requests are ICMP type 8. So the general rule format is:<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>Target&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Source&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Destination&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </i>icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
<br>
Example 1. Accept pings from the net to the dmz (pings are responded
to with an ICMP echo-reply):<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ACCEPT&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; net&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dmz&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
<br>
Example 2. Drop pings from the net to the firewall<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DROP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; net&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fw&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
<h3>Policy Evaluation</h3>
If no applicable rule is found, then the policy for the source to the
destination is applied.<br>
<ol>
<li>If the relevant policy is ACCEPT then the request is responded
to with an ICMP echo-reply.</li>
<li>If <b>FORWARDPING</b> is set to Yes in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
then the request is responded to with an ICMP echo-reply.</li>
<li>Otherwise, the relevant REJECT or DROP policy is used and the
request is either rejected or simply ignored.</li>

Shorewall 'Ping' management has evolved over time with the latest change
coming in Shorewall version 1.4.0. To find out which version of Shorewall
you are running, at a shell prompt type "<font color="#009900"><b>/sbin/shorewall
version</b></font>". If that command gives you an error, it's time to upgrade
since you have a very old version of Shorewall installed (1.2.4 or earlier).<br>

<li>A problem seen on RH7.3 systems where Shorewall encountered start
errors when started using the "service" mechanism has been worked around.<br>

<li>Corrected a problem in Beta 1 where DNS names containing a "-"
were mis-handled when they appeared in the DEST column of a rule.<br>
</li>
<br>
</li>
<li>A number of problems with rule parsing have been corrected. Corrections
involve the handling of "z1!z2" in the SOURCE column as well as lists in
the ORIGINAL DESTINATION column.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>In earlier versions, an undocumented feature allowed entries
in the host file as follows:<br>
<br>
    z    eth1:192.168.1.0/24,eth2:192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
This capability was never documented and has been removed in 1.4.6 to allow
entries of the following format:<br>
<br>
    z   eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT options have been
removed from /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. These capabilities are now automatically
detected by Shorewall (see below).<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>New Features:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A 'newnotsyn' interface option has been added. This option may
be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and overrides the setting NEWNOTSYN=No
for packets arriving on the associated interface.<br>
<li>In earlier versions, an undocumented feature allowed entries

</li>
<li>Shorewall can now add IP addresses to subnets other than the
first one on an interface.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance (round-robin)
over a set of servers. Servers may be specified in a range of addresses
given as &lt;first address&gt;-&lt;last address&gt;.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
    DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp 80<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT configuration
options have been removed and have been replaced by code that detects whether
these capabilities are present in the current kernel. The output of the
start, restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the outcome:<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
   NAT: Available<br>
   Packet Mangling: Available<br>
   Multi-port Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Support for the Connection Tracking Match Extension has been
added. This extension is available in recent kernel/iptables releases and
allows for rules which match against elements in netfilter's connection tracking
table. Shorewall automatically detects the availability of this extension
and reports its availability in the output of the start, restart and check
commands.<br>

Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
   NAT: Available<br>
   Packet Mangling: Available<br>
   Multi-port Match: Available<br>
   Connection Tracking Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
If this extension is available, the ruleset generated by Shorewall is
changed in the following ways:</li>
<ul>
<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not create
chains in the mangle table but will rather do all 'norfc1918' filtering in
the filter table (rfc1918 chain).</li>
<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two netfilter rules;
one in the nat table and one in the filter table. If the Connection Tracking
Match Extension is available, the rule in the filter table is extended to
check that the original destination address was the same as specified (or
defaulted to) in the DNAT rule.<br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>The shell used to interpret the firewall script (/usr/share/shorewall/firewall)
may now be specified using the SHOREWALL_SHELL parameter in shorewall.conf.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>An 'ipcalc' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall.<br>
<br>
      ipcalc [ &lt;address&gt; &lt;netmask&gt; | &lt;address&gt;/&lt;vlsm&gt;
]<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
      [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24<br>
         CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
         NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
         NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
         BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
      [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
      [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0<br>
         CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
         NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
         NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
         BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
      [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
Warning:<br>
<br>
If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or dash), then
the ipcalc command produces incorrect information for IP addresses 128.0.0.0-1
and for /1 networks. Bash should produce correct information for all valid
IP addresses.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance (round-robin) over
a set of servers. Servers may be specified in a range of addresses given
as &lt;first address&gt;-&lt;last address&gt;.<br>
<li>An 'iprange' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall. <br>
<br>
      iprange &lt;address&gt;-&lt;address&gt;<br>
<br>
This command decomposes a range of IP addressses into a list of network
and host addresses. The command can be useful if you need to construct an
efficient set of rules that accept connections from a range of network addresses.<br>
<br>
Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic (ash or dash)
then the range may not span 128.0.0.0.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
    DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp 80<br>
      [root@gateway root]# shorewall iprange 192.168.1.4-192.168.12.9<br>

</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT configuration options
have been removed and have been replaced by code that detects whether these
capabilities are present in the current kernel. The output of the start,
restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the outcome:<br>

<p>I became interested in Internet Security when I established a home office
in 1999 and had DSL service installed in our home. I investigated
ipchains and developed the scripts which are now collectively known

Expanding on what I learned from Seattle Firewall, I then
designed and wrote Shorewall. </p>

<li>Corrected a problem in Beta 1 where DNS names containing a "-"
were mis-handled when they appeared in the DEST column of a rule.<br>

</li>
<li value="4">A number of problems with rule parsing have been corrected.
Corrections involve the handling of "z1!z2" in the SOURCE column as well
as lists in the ORIGINAL DESTINATION column.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>Migration Issues:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>In earlier versions, an undocumented feature allowed entries
in the host file as follows:<br>
<br>
    z    eth1:192.168.1.0/24,eth2:192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
This capability was never documented and has been removed in 1.4.6 to allow
entries of the following format:<br>
<br>
    z   eth1:192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT options have been
removed from /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. These capabilities are now automatically
detected by Shorewall (see below).<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>New Features:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A 'newnotsyn' interface option has been added. This option may
be specified in /etc/shorewall/interfaces and overrides the setting NEWNOTSYN=No
for packets arriving on the associated interface.<br>
<li>In earlier versions, an undocumented feature allowed entries
in the host file as follows:<br>

</li>
<li>Shorewall can now add IP addresses to subnets other than the
first one on an interface.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance (round-robin)
over a set of servers. Servers may be specified in a range of addresses
given as &lt;first address&gt;-&lt;last address&gt;.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
    DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp 80<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT configuration
options have been removed and have been replaced by code that detects whether
these capabilities are present in the current kernel. The output of the
start, restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the outcome:<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
   NAT: Available<br>
   Packet Mangling: Available<br>
   Multi-port Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Support for the Connection Tracking Match Extension has been
added. This extension is available in recent kernel/iptables releases and
allows for rules which match against elements in netfilter's connection tracking
table. Shorewall automatically detects the availability of this extension
and reports its availability in the output of the start, restart and check
commands.<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
   NAT: Available<br>
   Packet Mangling: Available<br>
   Multi-port Match: Available<br>
   Connection Tracking Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
If this extension is available, the ruleset generated by Shorewall is
changed in the following ways:</li>
<ul>
<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not create
chains in the mangle table but will rather do all 'norfc1918' filtering in
the filter table (rfc1918 chain).</li>
<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two netfilter rules;
one in the nat table and one in the filter table. If the Connection Tracking
Match Extension is available, the rule in the filter table is extended to
check that the original destination address was the same as specified (or
defaulted to) in the DNAT rule.<br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>The shell used to interpret the firewall script (/usr/share/shorewall/firewall)
may now be specified using the SHOREWALL_SHELL parameter in shorewall.conf.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>An 'ipcalc' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall.<br>
<br>
      ipcalc [ &lt;address&gt; &lt;netmask&gt; | &lt;address&gt;/&lt;vlsm&gt;
]<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
      [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24<br>
         CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
         NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
         NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
         BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
      [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
      [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0<br>
         CIDR=192.168.1.0/24<br>
         NETMASK=255.255.255.0<br>
         NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
         BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
      [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
Warning:<br>
<br>
If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or dash), then
the ipcalc command produces incorrect information for IP addresses 128.0.0.0-1
and for /1 networks. Bash should produce correct information for all valid
IP addresses.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>DNAT[-] rules may now be used to load balance (round-robin) over
a set of servers. Servers may be specified in a range of addresses given
as &lt;first address&gt;-&lt;last address&gt;.<br>
<li>An 'iprange' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall. <br>
<br>
      iprange &lt;address&gt;-&lt;address&gt;<br>
<br>
This command decomposes a range of IP addressses into a list of network
and host addresses. The command can be useful if you need to construct an
efficient set of rules that accept connections from a range of network addresses.<br>
<br>
Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic (ash or dash)
then the range may not span 128.0.0.0.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
    DNAT net loc:192.168.10.2-192.168.10.5 tcp 80<br>
      [root@gateway root]# shorewall iprange 192.168.1.4-192.168.12.9<br>
      192.168.1.4/30<br>
      192.168.1.8/29<br>
      192.168.1.16/28<br>

      192.168.8.0/22<br>
      192.168.12.0/29<br>
      192.168.12.8/31<br>
      [root@gateway root]#<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The NAT_ENABLED, MANGLE_ENABLED and MULTIPORT configuration options
have been removed and have been replaced by code that detects whether these
capabilities are present in the current kernel. The output of the start,
restart and check commands have been enhanced to report the outcome:<br>
<li>A list of host/net addresses is now allowed in an entry in /etc/shorewall/hosts.<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
   NAT: Available<br>
   Packet Mangling: Available<br>
   Multi-port Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
Example:<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Support for the Connection Tracking Match Extension has been
added. This extension is available in recent kernel/iptables releases and
allows for rules which match against elements in netfilter's connection
tracking table. Shorewall automatically detects the availability of this
extension and reports its availability in the output of the start, restart
and check commands.<br>
<br>
Shorewall has detected the following iptables/netfilter capabilities:<br>
   NAT: Available<br>
   Packet Mangling: Available<br>
   Multi-port Match: Available<br>
   Connection Tracking Match: Available<br>
Verifying Configuration...<br>
<br>
If this extension is available, the ruleset generated by Shorewall is changed
in the following ways:</li>
<ul>
<li>To handle 'norfc1918' filtering, Shorewall will not create
chains in the mangle table but will rather do all 'norfc1918' filtering
in the filter table (rfc1918 chain).</li>
<li>Recall that Shorewall DNAT rules generate two netfilter rules;
one in the nat table and one in the filter table. If the Connection Tracking
Match Extension is available, the rule in the filter table is extended to
check that the original destination address was the same as specified (or
defaulted to) in the DNAT rule.<br>
<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>The shell used to interpret the firewall script (/usr/share/shorewall/firewall)
may now be specified using the SHOREWALL_SHELL parameter in shorewall.conf.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>An 'ipcalc' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall.<br>
<br>
      ipcalc [ &lt;address&gt; &lt;netmask&gt; | &lt;address&gt;/&lt;vlsm&gt;
]<br>
<br>
Examples:<br>
<br>
      [root@wookie root]# shorewall ipcalc 192.168.1.0/24<br>

         NETWORK=192.168.1.0<br>
         BROADCAST=192.168.1.255<br>
      [root@wookie root]#<br>
<br>
Warning:<br>
<br>
If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmatic (ash or dash), then
the ipcalc command produces incorrect information for IP addresses 128.0.0.0-1
and for /1 networks. Bash should produce correct information for all valid
IP addresses.<br>
<br>

<li>An 'iprange' command has been added to /sbin/shorewall. <br>

<br>
Note: If your shell only supports 32-bit signed arithmetic (ash or dash)
then the range may not span 128.0.0.0.<br>
<br>

<h2>Problem Reporting Guidelines<br>
</h2>
<ul>
<li>Please remember we only know
what is posted in your message. Do not leave out any information
that appears to be correct, or was mentioned in a previous
post. There have been countless posts by people who were sure
that some part of their configuration was correct when it actually
contained a small error. We tend to be skeptics where detail
is lacking.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Please keep in mind that you're
asking for <strong>free</strong> technical support.
Any help we offer is an act of generosity, not an obligation.
Try to make it easy for us to help you. Follow good, courteous
practices in writing and formatting your e-mail. Provide details
that we need if you expect good answers. <em>Exact quoting </em>
of error messages, log entries, command output, and other output is
better than a paraphrase or summary.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>
Please don't describe your environment and then ask
us to send you custom configuration files. We're
here to answer your questions but we can't do
your job for you.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>When reporting a problem,
<strong>ALWAYS</strong> include this information:</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>the exact version of Shorewall
you are running.<br>
