Shorewall 2.0.1-Beta2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Problems Corrected since 2.0.0 1) Using actions in the manner recommended in the documentation results in a Warning that the rule is a policy. 2) When a zone on a single interface is defined using /etc/shorewall/hosts, superfluous rules are generated in the _frwd chain. Problems Corrected since 2.0.1 Beta 1 1) The BOGON_LOG_LEVEL variable is now included in shorewall.conf. It was inadvertently omitted from the Beta 1 file. 2) Previously, setting 'norfc1918' also set 'nobogons'; setting 'nobogons' by itself had no effect. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Issues when migrating from Shorewall 2.0.0 to Shorewall 2.0.1: 1) The function of 'norfc1918' is now split between that option and a new 'nobogons' option. The rfc1918 file released with Shorewall now contains entries for only those three address ranges reserved by RFC 1918. A 'nobogons' interface option has been added which handles bogon source addresses (those which are reserved by the IANA, those reserved for DHCP auto-configuration and the class C test-net reserved for testing and documentation examples). This will allow users to perform RFC 1918 filtering without having to deal with out of date data from IANA. Those who are willing to update their /usr/share/shorewall/bogons file regularly can specify the 'nobogons' option in addition to 'norfc1918'. The level at which bogon packets are logged is specified in the new BOGON_LOG_LEVEL variable in shorewall.conf. If that option is not specified or is specified as empty (e.g, BOGON_LOG_LEVEL="") then bogon packets whose TARGET is 'logdrop' in /usr/share/shorewall/bogons are logged at the 'info' level. New Features: 1) Support for Bridging Firewalls has been added. For details, see http://shorewall.net/bridge.html 2) Support for NETMAP has been added. NETMAP allows NAT to be defined between two network: a.b.c.1 -> x.y.z.1 a.b.c.2 -> x.y.z.2 a.b.c.3 -> x.y.z.3 ... http://shorewall.net/netmap.html 3) The /sbin/shorewall program now accepts a "-x" option to cause iptables to print out the actual packet and byte counts rather than abbreviated counts such as "13MB". Commands affected by this are: shorewall -x show [ [ ...] ] shorewall -x show tos|mangle shorewall -x show nat shorewall -x status shorewall -x monitor [ ]
