7) /etc/init.d/shorewall now supports a 'reload' command which is
synonymous with the 'restart' command.
Problems Corrected in 3.0.2
1) A couple of typos in the one-interface sample configuration have
been corrected.
2) The 3.0.1 version of Shorewall was incompatible with old versions of
the Linux kernel (2.4.7 for example). The new code ignores errors
produced when Shorewall 3.x is run on these ancient kernels.
3) Arch Linux installation routines has been improved.
New Features in 3.0.2
1) A new Webmin macro has been added. This macro assumes that Webmin is
running on its default port (10000).
Problems Corrected in 3.0.1
1) If the previous firewall configuration included a policy other than
ACCEPT in the nat, mangle or raw tables then Shorewall would not set
the policy to ACCEPT. This could result in a ruleset that rejected or
dropped all traffic.
2) The Makefile was broken such that 'make' didn't always work correctly.
3) If the SOURCE or DEST column in a macro body was non-empty and a dash
("-") appeared in the corresponding column of an invocation of that
macro, then an invalid rule was generated.
4) The comments in the /etc/shorewall/blacklist file have been updated to
clarify that the PORTS column refers to destination port number/service
names.
5) When CLAMPMSS is set to a value other than "No" and FASTACCEPT=Yes, the
order of the rules generated was incorrect causing RELATED TCP connections
to not have CLAMPMSS applied.
New Features in 3.0.1
1) To make the macro facility more flexible, Shorewall now examines the
contents of the SOURCE and DEST columns in both the macro body and in
the invocation and tries to create the intended rule. If the value in
the invocation appears to be an address (IP or MAC) or the name of an
ipset, then it is placed after the value in the macro body. Otherwise,
it is placed before the value in the macro body.
Example 1:
/etc/shorewall/macro.foo:
PARAM - 192.168.1.5 tcp http
/etc/shorewallrules:
foo/ACCEPT net loc
Effective rule:
ACCEPT net loc:192.168.1.5 tcp http
Example 2:
/etc/shorewall/macro.bar:
PARAM net loc tcp http
/etc/shorewall/rules:
bar/ACCEPT - 192.168.1.5
Effective rule:
ACCEPT net loc:192.168.1.5 tcp http
