Given that I develop and support Shorewall without asking for any renumeration,
I can hardly justify paying $200US+ a year to a Certificate Authority such
as Thawte (A Division of VeriSign) for an X.509 certificate to prove that
I am who I am. I have therefore established my own Certificate Authority (CA)
and sign my own X.509 certificates. I use these certificates on my mail server
(<a href="https://mail.shorewall.net">https://mail.shorewall.net</a>)

X.509 certificates are the basis for the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). As part
of establishing an SSL session (URL https://...), your browser verifies the
X.509 certificate supplied by the HTTPS server against the set of Certificate
Authority Certificates that were shipped with your browser. It is expected
that the server's certificate was issued by one of the authorities whose identities
are known to your browser. <br>
<br>
This mechanism, while supposedly guaranteeing that when you connect to https://www.foo.bar
you are REALLY connecting to www.foo.bar, means that the CAs literally have
a license to print money -- they are selling a string of bits (an X.509 certificate)
for $200US+ per year!!!I <br>

I wish that I had decided to become a CA rather that designing and writing
Shorewall.<br>

What does this mean to you? It means that the X.509 certificate that my

authorities known to your browser. If you try to connect to my server using

<li>If you install my CA certificate then you assume that I am trustworthy
and that Shorewall running on your firewall won't redirect HTTPS requests
intented to go to your bank's server to one of my systems that will present
your browser with a bogus certificate claiming that my server is that of
your bank.</li>
<li>If you only accept my server's certificate when prompted then the
most that you have to loose is that when you connect to https://mail.shorewall.net,

installed, simply use the "--nodeps" option to
rpm.</p>

<p>The iptables 1.2.7 release of iptables has made
an incompatible change to the syntax used to

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>

the Mailing Lists</h2>
<p align="left">There seems to be near-universal confusion about unsubscribing
from Mailman-managed lists although Mailman 2.1 has attempted to
make this less confusing. To unsubscribe:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<hr>
<p align="left">Follow the same link above that you used to subscribe
to the list.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">Down at the bottom of that page is the following text:
" To <b>unsubscribe</b> from <i>&lt;list name&gt;</i>, get a password
reminder, or change your subscription options enter your subscription
email address:". Enter your email address in the box and click
on the "<b>Unsubscribe</b> or edit options" button.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">There will now be a box where you can enter your password
and click on "Unsubscribe"; if you have forgotten your password,
there is another button that will cause your password to be emailed

Shorewall 'Ping' management has evolved over time with the latest change
coming in Shorewall version 1.3.14. In that version, a new option (<b>OLD_PING_HANDLING</b>)
was added to /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. The value of that option determines
the overall handling of ICMP echo requests (pings).<br>
<h2>Shorewall Versions &gt;= 1.3.14 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, 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>
Shorewall 'Ping' management has evolved over time in a less than consistant
way. This page describes how it now works.<br>
<br>
There are several aspects to 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>
<h2>Ping Requests Addressed to the Firewall Itself</h2>
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>
<h2>Ping Requests Forwarded by the Firewall</h2>
These requests are <b>always</b> passed to rules/policy evaluation.<br>
<h2>Rules Evaluation</h2>
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;
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, 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>
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;
To drop ping from the internet, you would need this rule in /etc/shorewall/rules:<br>
<blockquote>DROP&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; net&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fw&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
icmp&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8<br>
<h2>Policy Evaluation</h2>
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>
</ol>

</p>
<p><b>1/13/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.13</b><br>
</p>
<p>Just includes a few things that I had on the burner:<br>
</p>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A new 'DNAT-' action has been added for entries in the /etc/shorewall/rules
file. DNAT- is intended for advanced users who wish to minimize the number
of rules that connection requests must traverse.<br>
<br>
A Shorewall DNAT rule actually generates two iptables rules: a header rewriting
rule in the 'nat' table and an ACCEPT rule in the 'filter' table. A DNAT-
rule only generates the first of these rules. This is handy when you have
several DNAT rules that would generate the same ACCEPT rule.<br>
<br>
   Here are three rules from my previous rules file:<br>
<br>
        DNAT   net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.178<br>
        DNAT   net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.179<br>
        ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,...<br>
<br>
   These three rules ended up generating _three_ copies of<br>
<br>
         ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp<br>
<br>
   By writing the rules this way, I end up with only one copy of the ACCEPT
rule.<br>
<br>
        DNAT-  net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -  206.124.146.178<br>
        DNAT-  net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -  206.124.146.179<br>
        ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,....<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The 'shorewall check' command now prints out the applicable policy
between each pair of zones.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A new CLEAR_TC option has been added to shorewall.conf. If this
option is set to 'No' then Shorewall won't clear the current traffic control
rules during [re]start. This setting is intended for use by people that prefer
to configure traffic shaping when the network interfaces come up rather than
when the firewall is started. If that is what you want to do, set TC_ENABLED=Yes
and CLEAR_TC=No and do not supply an /etc/shorewall/tcstart file. That way,
your traffic shaping rules can still use the 'fwmark' classifier based on
packet marking defined in /etc/shorewall/tcrules.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A new SHARED_DIR variable has been added that allows distribution
packagers to easily move the shared directory (default /usr/lib/shorewall).
Users should never have a need to change the value of this shorewall.conf
setting.<br>
</li>

<li>ULOG (must be all caps) is now accepted as a valid syslog

<li>If you are running a kernel that has a FORWARD chain
in the mangle table ("shorewall show mangle" will show you the chains
in the mangle table), you can set MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=Yes in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>. This allows for marking
input packets based on their destination even when you are using Masquerading
or SNAT.</li>
<li>I have cluttered up the /etc/shorewall directory with
empty 'init', 'start', 'stop' and 'stopped' files. If you already have
a file with one of these names, don't worry -- the upgrade process won't
overwrite your file.</li>
<li>I have added a new RFC1918_LOG_LEVEL variable to <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>. This variable specifies
the syslog level at which packets are logged as a result of entries in
the /etc/shorewall/rfc1918 file. Previously, these packets were always
logged at the 'info' level.<br>
</li>
<li>"shorewall refresh" now reloads the traffic shaping
rules (tcrules and tcstart).</li>
<li>"shorewall debug [re]start" now turns off debugging
after an error occurs. This places the point of the failure near the
end of the trace rather than up in the middle of it.</li>
<li>"shorewall [re]start" has been speeded up by more
than 40% with my configuration. Your milage may vary.</li>

<p>Thanks to the generosity of Alex Martin and <a

ftp.shorewall.net are now hosted on a system in Bellevue, Washington. A
big thanks to Alex for making this happen.<br>

<p><b>1/13/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.13</b><b> </b><b><img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
</b><br>
</p>
</b><br>
</p>
<p>Just includes a few things that I had on the burner:<br>
</p>
</p>
<ol>
<li>A new 'DNAT-' action has been added for entries in the /etc/shorewall/rules
file. DNAT- is intended for advanced users who wish to minimize the number
of rules that connection requests must traverse.<br>
<br>
A Shorewall DNAT rule actually generates two iptables rules: a header rewriting
rule in the 'nat' table and an ACCEPT rule in the 'filter' table. A DNAT-
rule only generates the first of these rules. This is handy when you have
several DNAT rules that would generate the same ACCEPT rule.<br>
<br>
   Here are three rules from my previous rules file:<br>
<br>
        DNAT   net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.178<br>
        DNAT   net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.179<br>
        ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,...<br>
<br>
   These three rules ended up generating _three_ copies of<br>
<br>
         ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp<br>
<br>
   By writing the rules this way, I end up with only one copy of the ACCEPT
rule.<br>
<br>
        DNAT-  net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -  206.124.146.178<br>
        DNAT-  net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -  206.124.146.179<br>
        ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,....<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The 'shorewall check' command now prints out the applicable policy
between each pair of zones.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A new CLEAR_TC option has been added to shorewall.conf. If this
option is set to 'No' then Shorewall won't clear the current traffic control
rules during [re]start. This setting is intended for use by people that prefer
to configure traffic shaping when the network interfaces come up rather than
when the firewall is started. If that is what you want to do, set TC_ENABLED=Yes
and CLEAR_TC=No and do not supply an /etc/shorewall/tcstart file. That way,
your traffic shaping rules can still use the 'fwmark' classifier based on
packet marking defined in /etc/shorewall/tcrules.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A new SHARED_DIR variable has been added that allows distribution
packagers to easily move the shared directory (default /usr/lib/shorewall).
Users should never have a need to change the value of this shorewall.conf
setting.</li>
<li>A new 'DNAT-' action has been added for entries in the /etc/shorewall/rules
file. DNAT- is intended for advanced users who wish to minimize the number
of rules that connection requests must traverse.<br>
<br>
A Shorewall DNAT rule actually generates two iptables rules: a header
rewriting rule in the 'nat' table and an ACCEPT rule in the 'filter' table.
A DNAT- rule only generates the first of these rules. This is handy when
you have several DNAT rules that would generate the same ACCEPT rule.<br>
<br>
   Here are three rules from my previous rules file:<br>
<br>
        DNAT   net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.178<br>
        DNAT   net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp - 206.124.146.179<br>
        ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,...<br>
<br>
   These three rules ended up generating _three_ copies of<br>
<br>
         ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp<br>
<br>
   By writing the rules this way, I end up with only one copy of the
ACCEPT rule.<br>
<br>
        DNAT-  net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -  206.124.146.178<br>
        DNAT-  net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -  206.124.146.179<br>
        ACCEPT net  dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,....<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The 'shorewall check' command now prints out the applicable
policy between each pair of zones.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>A new CLEAR_TC option has been added to shorewall.conf. If
this option is set to 'No' then Shorewall won't clear the current traffic
control rules during [re]start. This setting is intended for use by people

<p><b>12/27/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Released</b><b>
</b></p>
<p> Features include:<br>
</p>
</p>
<ol>
<li>"shorewall refresh" now reloads the traffic shaping rules
(tcrules and tcstart).</li>
<li>"shorewall debug [re]start" now turns off debugging after
an error occurs. This places the point of the failure near the end of
the trace rather than up in the middle of it.</li>
<li>"shorewall [re]start" has been speeded up by more than
40% with my configuration. Your milage may vary.</li>
<li>A "shorewall show classifiers" command has been added
which shows the current packet classification filters. The output from
this command is also added as a separate page in "shorewall monitor"</li>
<li>ULOG (must be all caps) is now accepted as a valid syslog
level and causes the subject packets to be logged using the ULOG target
rather than the LOG target. This allows you to run ulogd (available from
<a href="http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd">http://www.gnumonks.org/projects/ulogd</a>)
and log all Shorewall messages <a href="shorewall_logging.html">to a
separate log file</a>.</li>
<li>If you are running a kernel that has a FORWARD chain
in the mangle table ("shorewall show mangle" will show you the chains
in the mangle table), you can set MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN=Yes in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>. This allows for marking
input packets based on their destination even when you are using Masquerading
or SNAT.</li>
<li>I have cluttered up the /etc/shorewall directory with
empty 'init', 'start', 'stop' and 'stopped' files. If you already have
a file with one of these names, don't worry -- the upgrade process won't
overwrite your file.</li>
<li>I have added a new RFC1918_LOG_LEVEL variable to <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>. This variable specifies
the syslog level at which packets are logged as a result of entries in
the /etc/shorewall/rfc1918 file. Previously, these packets were always
logged at the 'info' level.</li>
<li>"shorewall refresh" now reloads the traffic shaping
rules (tcrules and tcstart).</li>

<h2>Problem Reporting Guidelines </h2>
<i>"Let me see if I can translate your message into a real-world
example. It would be like saying that you have three rooms at home,
and when you walk into one of the rooms, you detect this strange smell.
Can anyone tell you what that strange smell is?<br>
<br>
Now, all of us could do some wonderful guessing as to the smell
and even what's causing it. You would be absolutely amazed at the range
and variety of smells we could come up with. Even more amazing is that
all of the explanations for the smells would be completely plausible."<br>
