<p>The Shoreline Firewall, more commonly known as "Shorewall", is
a <a href="http://www.netfilter.org">Netfilter</a> (iptables) based
firewall that can be used on a dedicated firewall system, a multi-function
gateway/router/server or on a standalone GNU/Linux system.</p>

<p><b>11/24/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.11</b><b> </b><b><img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>A 'tcpflags' option has been added to entries in <a
href="file:///home/teastep/Shorewall-docs/Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>.
This option causes Shorewall to make a set of sanity check on TCP packet
header flags.</li>
<li>It is now allowed to use 'all' in the SOURCE or DEST column in
a <a href="file:///home/teastep/Shorewall-docs/Documentation.htm#Rules">rule</a>.
When used, 'all' must appear by itself (in may not be qualified) and it does
not enable intra-zone traffic. For example, the rule <br>
<br>
<20> <20> ACCEPT loc all tcp 80<br>
<br>
does not enable http traffic from 'loc' to 'loc'.</li>
<li>Shorewall's use of the 'echo' command is now compatible with
bash clones such as ash and dash.</li>
<li>fw-&gt;fw policies now generate a startup error. fw-&gt;fw rules
generate a warning and are ignored</li>
</ul>

<p><b>11/09/2002 - Shorewall is Back at SourceForge</b><b> </b><b><img
border="0" src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
</b></p>
<p>The main Shorewall web site is now at SourceForge at <a
href="http://shorewall.sf.net" target="_top">http://shorewall.sf.net</a>.<br>
</p>
<p><b>11/09/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.10</b><b> </b><b><img border="0"
src="images/new10.gif" width="28" height="12" alt="(New)">
</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>You may now <a href="IPSEC.htm#Dynamic">define
the contents of a zone dynamically</a> with the <a
href="starting_and_stopping_shorewall.htm">"shorewall add" and "shorewall
delete" commands</a>. These commands are expected to be used primarily
within <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Efreeswan/">FreeS/Wan</a>
updown scripts.</li>
<li>Shorewall can now do<a
href="MAC_Validation.html"> MAC verification</a> on ethernet segments.
You can specify the set of allowed MAC addresses on the segment
and you can optionally tie each MAC address to one or more IP addresses.</li>
<li>PPTP Servers and Clients running on the firewall
system may now be defined in the<a href="PPTP.htm"> /etc/shorewall/tunnels</a>
file.</li>
<li>A new 'ipsecnat' tunnel type is supported
for use when the <a href="IPSEC.htm">remote IPSEC endpoint
is behind a NAT gateway</a>.</li>
<li>The PATH used by Shorewall may now be specified
in <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf">/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf.</a></li>
<li>The main firewall script is now /usr/lib/shorewall/firewall.
The script in /etc/init.d/shorewall is very small and uses /sbin/shorewall
to do the real work. This change makes custom distributions such
as for Debian and for Gentoo easier to manage since it is /etc/init.d/shorewall
that tends to have distribution-dependent code.</li>
</ul>
If you have installed the 1.3.10 Beta 1 RPM and are now
upgrading to version 1.3.10, you will need to use the '--force' option:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>rpm -Uvh --force shorewall-1.3.10-1.noarch.rpm</pre>
</blockquote>

is now a part of <a href="http://www.gentoo.org">the Gentoo

<p>In this version:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><a
href="configuration_file_basics.htm#dnsnames">DNS Names</a> are now
allowed in Shorewall config files (although I recommend
against using them).</li>
<li>The connection
SOURCE may now be qualified by both interface and IP
address in a <a href="Documentation.htm#Rules">Shorewall rule</a>.</li>
<li>Shorewall startup
is now disabled after initial installation until the
file /etc/shorewall/startup_disabled is removed. This avoids
nasty surprises at reboot for users who install Shorewall
but don't configure it.</li>
<li>The 'functions'
and 'version' files and the 'firewall' symbolic link
have been moved from /var/lib/shorewall to /usr/lib/shorewall
to appease the LFS police at Debian.<br>
