1) On systems running Upstart, shorewall-init cannot reliably secure
the firewall before interfaces are brought up.
Corrected in Shorewall 4.4.19.1
2) There is a harmless duplicate ACCEPT rule in the INPUT filter chain
when the firewall is stopped.
Corrected in Shorewall 4.4.19.1
3) Shorewall interprets all 'nexthop' routes as default routes when
analyzing the pre-start routing configuration. This can lead to
unwanted default routes when the firewall was started or stopped.
Corrected in Shorewall 4.4.19.1
3) A defect introduced in Shorewall 4.4.17 broke the ability to
specify ':<low port>-<high port>' in the ADDRESS column of
/etc/shorewall/masq.
Corrected in Shorewall 4.4.19.1
4) The changes in 4.4.19.1 that corrected long-standing issues with
default route save/restore are incompatible with 'gawk'. When
'gawk' is installed (rather than 'mawk'), awk syntax errors having
to do with the symbol 'default' were issued.
Workaround: Install mawk
5) An entry in the USER/GROUP column in the rules and tcrules files
can cause run-time start/restart failures if the rule(s) being
added did not have the firewall as the source or and was not being
added to the POSTROUTING chain.
Workaround: Insure that all USER/GROUP matches are only specified
when the SOURCE is $FW (rules file) or is being added to the
POSTROUTING chain (:T designator in the tcrules file).
