<pre>Problems Corrected in Shorewall 3.2.1:<br><br>1) The output formatting of the 'hits' command under BusyBox 1.2.0 has<br> been corrected.<br><br>2) Shorewall no longer requires extended MARK support to use the 'track'<br> provider option when HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=No.<br><br>3) The output of the 'hits' command was previously scrambled if<br> /etc/services contained spaces as column delimiters rather than<br> tabs.<br><br>4) The /usr/share/shorewall/xmodules file was previously just a copy<br> of /usr/share/shorewall/modules.<br><br>5) The version number in the comments at the top of shorewall.conf has<br> been corrected.<br><br>6) The script generated when the -e option is given to the 'compile'<br> command is setting CONFIG_PATH to the value given in the remote<br> firewall's shorewall.conf processed at compile time. This is<br> generally incorrect and results in the inability to load any kernel<br> modules on the firewall during 'shorewall-lite [re]start'.<br><br>Problems Corrected in Shorewall Lite 3.2.1:<br><br>1) The output formatting of the 'hits' command under BusyBox 1.2.0 has<br> been corrected.<br><br>2) The output of the 'hits' command was previously scrambled if<br> /etc/services contained spaces as column delimiters rather than<br> tabs.<br><br>3) The /usr/share/shorewall-lite/xmodules file was previously just a<br> copy of /usr/share/shorewall-lite/modules.<br><br>4) The version number in the comments at the top of shorewall.conf has<br> been corrected.<br></pre>

Shorewall bridge/firewall
support change upcoming<br>
</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>
<pre><tt>I regret to announce that Shorewall bridge/firewall support in its</tt><br><tt>current form (BRIDGING=Yes in shorewall.conf) is going away. I will</tt><br><tt>retain the code in Shorewall for the foreseeable future but users</tt><br><tt>migrating to new kernels coming out next year will find that their</tt><br><tt>current bridge configurations no longer work. Shorewall bridge/firewall</tt><br><tt>users upgrading to more immediate new kernel releases (possibly as early</tt><br><tt>as 2.6.18) will find Netfilter warning messages appearing in their</tt><br><tt>kernel log when Shorewall [re]starts.</tt><br><br><tt>The reason that this support is going away is that the underlying</tt><br><tt>Netfilter feature that BRIDGING=Yes depends on (physdev match) is being</tt><br><tt>reduced in scope to the point that it will no longer be possible to use</tt><br><tt>that feature for Shorewall zone definition. There is a significant list</tt><br><tt>of pending Netfilter bug reports than cannot be resolved so long as</tt><br><tt>'physdev match' works the way that it does today.</tt><br><br><tt>While 'physdev match' was a great idea in terms of the function that it</tt><br><tt>provides, it appears impossible to implement that function without</tt><br><tt>breaking other parts of the greater Linux IP stack; in short, 'physdev</tt><br><tt>match' in its current form should never have been released in the first</tt><br><tt>place.</tt><br><br><tt>So -- what can current Shorewall bridge/firewall users do? </tt><br><tt>-----------------------------------------------------------------------</tt><br><tt>a) Configure Shorewall as if you have a simple bridge</tt><br><tt>(<a
