<p><b>3/24/2003 - Shorewall 1.4.1</b><b></b><b> </b></p>
<b> </b>
<p>This release follows up on 1.4.0. It corrects a problem introduced in
1.4.0 and removes additional warts.<br>
<br>
<b>Problems Corrected:</b><br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>When Shorewall 1.4.0 is run under the ash shell (such as on Bering/LEAF),
it can attempt to add ECN disabling rules even if the /etc/shorewall/ecn file
is empty. That problem has been corrected so that ECN disabling rules are
only added if there are entries in /etc/shorewall/ecn.</li>
</ol>
<b>New Features:</b><br>
<blockquote>Note: In the list that follows, the term <i>group </i>refers to
a particular network or subnetwork (which may be 0.0.0.0/0 or it may be a
host address) accessed through a particular interface. Examples:<br>
<blockquote>eth0:0.0.0.0/0<br>
eth2:192.168.1.0/24<br>
eth3:192.0.2.123<br>
</blockquote>
You can use the "shorewall check" command to see the groups associated with
each of your zones.<br>
</blockquote>
<ol>
<li>Beginning with Shorewall 1.4.1, if a zone Z comprises more than one
group<i> </i>then if there is no explicit Z to Z policy and there are no
rules governing traffic from Z to Z then Shorewall will permit all traffic
between the groups in the zone.</li>
<li>Beginning with Shorewall 1.4.1, Shorewall will never create rules to
handle traffic from a group to itself.</li>
<li>A NONE policy is introduced in 1.4.1. When a policy of NONE is specified
from Z1 to Z2:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>There may be no rules created that govern connections from Z1 to Z2.</li>
<li>Shorewall will not create any infrastructure to handle traffic from
Z1 to Z2.</li>
</ul>
See the <a href="upgrade_issues.htm">upgrade issues</a> for a discussion
of how these changes may affect your configuration.
<p><b>3/17/2003 - Shorewall 1.4.0</b><b> </b></p>
Shorewall 1.4 represents
the next step in the evolution of Shorewall. The main thrust of the initial
release is simply to remove the cruft that has accumulated in Shorewall
over time. <br>
<br>
<b>IMPORTANT: Shorewall 1.4.0 requires</b> <b>the iproute package
('ip' utility).</b><br>
<br>
Function from 1.3 that has been omitted from this version include:<br>
<ol>
<li>The MERGE_HOSTS variable in shorewall.conf is no longer
supported. Shorewall 1.4 behavior is the same as 1.3 with MERGE_HOSTS=Yes.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Interface names of the form &lt;device&gt;:&lt;integer&gt;
in /etc/shorewall/interfaces now generate an error.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Shorewall 1.4 implements behavior consistent with OLD_PING_HANDLING=No.
OLD_PING_HANDLING=Yes will generate an error at startup as will specification
of the 'noping' or 'filterping' interface options.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The 'routestopped' option in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces
and /etc/shorewall/hosts files is no longer supported and will generate
an error at startup if specified.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The Shorewall 1.2 syntax for DNAT and REDIRECT rules is no
longer accepted.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The ALLOWRELATED variable in shorewall.conf is no longer supported.
Shorewall 1.4 behavior is the same as 1.3 with ALLOWRELATED=Yes.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The icmp.def file has been removed.<br>
</li>
</ol>
Changes for 1.4 include:<br>
<ol>
<li>The /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf file has been completely
reorganized into logical sections.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>LOG is now a valid action for a rule (/etc/shorewall/rules).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The firewall script and version file are now installed in
/usr/share/shorewall.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Late arriving DNS replies are now silently dropped in the
common chain by default.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>In addition to behaving like OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, Shorewall
1.4 no longer unconditionally accepts outbound ICMP packets. So if you
want to 'ping' from the firewall, you will need the appropriate rule or
policy.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>CONTINUE is now a valid action for a rule (/etc/shorewall/rules).<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>802.11b devices with names of the form wlan&lt;n&gt; now support
the 'maclist' option.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN - RFC 3168) may now be turned
off on a host or network basis using the new /etc/shorewall/ecn file. To
use this facility:<br>
<br>
<20><> a) You must be running kernel 2.4.20<br>
<20><> b) You must have applied the patch in<br>
<20><> http://www.shorewall/net/pub/shorewall/ecn/patch.<br>
<20><> c) You must have iptables 1.2.7a installed.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The /etc/shorewall/params file is now processed first so that variables
may be used in the /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf file.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li value="10">Shorewall now gives a more helpful diagnostic when the
'ipchains' compatibility kernel module is loaded and a 'shorewall start'
command is issued.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>The SHARED_DIR variable has been removed from shorewall.conf. This
variable was for use by package maintainers and was not documented for
general use.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Shorewall now ignores 'default' routes when detecting masq'd networks.</li>
</ol>
<p><b>3/10/2003 - Shoreall 1.3.14a</b></p>
<p>A roleup of the following bug fixes and other updates:</p>
<ul>
<li>There is an updated rfc1918 file that reflects the resent allocation
of 222.0.0.0/8 and 223.0.0.0/8.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The documentation for the routestopped file claimed that a comma-separated
list could appear in the second column while the code only supported a
single host or network address.</li>
<li>Log messages produced by 'logunclean' and 'dropunclean' were not
rate-limited.</li>
<li>802.11b devices with names of the form <i>wlan</i>&lt;n&gt; don't
support the 'maclist' interface option.</li>
<li>Log messages generated by RFC 1918 filtering are not rate limited.</li>
<li>The firewall fails to start in the case where you have "eth0 eth1"
in /etc/shorewall/masq and the default route is through eth1</li>
</ul>
<p><b>2/8/2003 - Shoreawall 1.3.14</b></p>
<p>New features include</p>
<ol>
<li>An OLD_PING_HANDLING option has been added to shorewall.conf.
When set to Yes, Shorewall ping handling is as it has always been
(see http://www.shorewall.net/ping.html).<br>
<br>
When OLD_PING_HANDLING=No, icmp echo (ping) is handled
via rules and policies just like any other connection request. The
FORWARDPING=Yes option in shorewall.conf and the 'noping' and 'filterping'
options in /etc/shorewall/interfaces will all generate an error.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>It is now possible to direct Shorewall to create a "label"
such as<61> "eth0:0" for IP addresses that it creates under ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes
and ADD_SNAT_ALIASES=Yes. This is done by specifying the label instead
of just the interface name:<br>
<20><br>
<20><> a) In the INTERFACE column of /etc/shorewall/masq<br>
<20><> b) In the INTERFACE column of /etc/shorewall/nat<br>
<20></li>
<li>Support for OpenVPN Tunnels.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Support for VLAN devices with names of the form $DEV.$VID
(e.g., eth0.0)<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>In /etc/shorewall/tcrules, the MARK value may be optionally
followed by ":" and either 'F' or 'P' to designate that the marking
will occur in the FORWARD or PREROUTING chains respectively. If this
additional specification is omitted, the chain used to mark packets
will be determined by the setting of the MARK_IN_FORWARD_CHAIN option
in <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a>.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>When an interface name is entered in the SUBNET column
of the /etc/shorewall/masq file, Shorewall previously masqueraded
traffic from only the first subnet defined on that interface. It did
not masquerade traffic from:<br>
<20><br>
<20><> a) The subnets associated with other addresses on the
interface.<br>
<20><> b) Subnets accessed through local routers.<br>
<20><br>
Beginning with Shorewall 1.3.14, if you enter an interface
name in the SUBNET column, shorewall will use the firewall's routing
table to construct the masquerading/SNAT rules.<br>
<20><br>
Example 1 -- This is how it works in 1.3.14.<br>
<20><> <br>
<pre><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> [root@gateway test]# cat /etc/shorewall/masq<br> #INTERFACE<43><45><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> SUBNET<45><54><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> ADDRESS<br> eth0<68><30><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> eth2<68><32><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> 206.124.146.176<br> #LAST LINE -- ADD YOUR ENTRIES ABOVE THIS LINE -- DO NOT REMOVE</pre>
<pre><EFBFBD> [root@gateway test]# ip route show dev eth2<br> 192.168.1.0/24<32> scope link<br> 192.168.10.0/24<32> proto kernel<65> scope link<6E> src 192.168.10.254<br></pre>
<pre><EFBFBD> [root@gateway test]# shorewall start<br> ...<br> Masqueraded Subnets and Hosts:<br> To 0.0.0.0/0 from 192.168.1.0/24 through eth0 using 206.124.146.176<br> To 0.0.0.0/0 from 192.168.10.0/24 through eth0 using 206.124.146.176<br> Processing /etc/shorewall/tos...</pre>
<20><br>
When upgrading to Shorewall 1.3.14, if you have multiple
local subnets connected to an interface that is specified in the
SUBNET column of an /etc/shorewall/masq entry, your /etc/shorewall/masq
file will need changing. In most cases, you will simply be able to remove
redundant entries. In some cases though, you might want to change from
using the interface name to listing specific subnetworks if the change
described above will cause masquerading to occur on subnetworks that you
don't wish to masquerade.<br>
<20><br>
Example 2 -- Suppose that your current config is as follows:<br>
<20><> <br>

<p><b>1/17/2003 - shorewall.net has MOVED</b><b><EFBFBD></b></p>
<p>Thanks to the generosity of Alex Martin and <a
href="http://www.rettc.com">Rett Consulting</a>, www.shorewall.net and ftp.shorewall.net
are now hosted on a system in Bellevue, Washington. A big thanks to Alex
for making this happen.<br>
</p>
<p><b>1/13/2003 - Shorewall 1.3.13<br>
</b></p>
<p>Just includes a few things that I had on the burner:<br>
</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>
<20><> Here are three rules from my previous rules file:<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> DNAT<41><54> net<65> dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -
206.124.146.178<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> DNAT<41><54> net<65> dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -
206.124.146.179<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> ACCEPT net<65> dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp www,smtp,ftp,...<br>
<br>
<20><> These three rules ended up generating _three_ copies
of<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> ACCEPT net<65> dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp<br>
<br>
<20><> By writing the rules this way, I end up with only
one copy of the ACCEPT rule.<br>
<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> DNAT-<2D> net<65> dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -<2D>
206.124.146.178<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> DNAT-<2D> net<65> dmz:206.124.146.177 tcp smtp -<2D>
206.124.146.179<br>
<20><><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD><EFBFBD> ACCEPT net<65> 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>
</ol>

</p>
<p><b>12/27/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Released</b></p>
<p> Features include:<br>
</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.<br>
</li>
</ol>
<p><b>12/20/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Beta 3<br>
</b></p>
This version corrects a problem with Blacklist
logging. In Beta 2, if BLACKLIST_LOG_LEVEL was set to anything
but ULOG, the firewall would fail to start and "shorewall refresh"
would also fail.<br>
<p><b>12/20/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.12 Beta 2</b></p>
<p>The first public Beta version of Shorewall 1.3.12 is now available (Beta
1 was made available only to a limited audience).<br>

<p><b>12/3/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.11a</b></p>
<p>This is a bug-fix roll up which includes Roger Aich's fix for DNAT with
excluded subnets (e.g., "DNAT foo!bar ..."). Current 1.3.11
users who don't need rules of this type need not upgrade to
1.3.11.</p>
<p><b>11/24/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.11</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>A 'tcpflags' option has been added
to entries in <a href="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="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>

<p><b>9/16/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.8</b></p>
<p>In this version:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>A <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">NEWNOTSYN</a> option has been
added to shorewall.conf. This option determines whether Shorewall
accepts TCP packets which are not part of an established
connection and that are not 'SYN' packets (SYN flag on and
ACK flag off).</li>
<li>The need for
the 'multi' option to communicate between zones za
and zb on the same interface is removed in the case where
the chain 'za2zb' and/or 'zb2za' exists. 'za2zb' will exist
if:</li>
<ul>
<li> There
is a policy for za to zb; or </li>
<li>There is
at least one rule for za to zb.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The /etc/shorewall/blacklist
file now contains three columns. In addition to
the SUBNET/ADDRESS column, there are optional PROTOCOL
and PORT columns to block only certain applications from
the blacklisted addresses.<br>
</li>
</ul>

</b></p>
<p>1.3.7a corrects problems occurring in rules file processing when starting
Shorewall 1.3.7.</p>
<p><b>8/22/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.7 Released 8/13/2002</b></p>
<p>Features in this release include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The 'icmp.def'
file is now empty! The rules in that file were required
in ipchains firewalls but are not required in Shorewall.
Users who have ALLOWRELATED=No in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">shorewall.conf</a> should see
the <a href="errata.htm#Upgrade">Upgrade Issues</a>.</li>
<li>A 'FORWARDPING'
option has been added to <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf"> shorewall.conf</a>. The effect
of setting this variable to Yes is the same as
the effect of adding an ACCEPT rule for ICMP echo-request
in <a href="shorewall_extension_scripts.htm">/etc/shorewall/icmpdef</a>.
Users who have such a rule in icmpdef are encouraged
to switch to FORWARDPING=Yes.</li>
<li>The loopback
CLASS A Network (127.0.0.0/8) has been added to the
rfc1918 file.</li>
<li>Shorewall now
works with iptables 1.2.7</li>
<li>The documentation
and web site no longer uses FrontPage themes.</li>
</ul>
<p>I would like to thank John Distler for his valuable input regarding TCP
SYN and ICMP treatment in Shorewall. That input
has led to marked improvement in Shorewall in the
last two releases.</p>
<p><b>8/13/2002 - Documentation in the <a target="_top"

These "New not SYN" packets may be optionally logged
by setting the LOGNEWNOTSYN option in <a

<li>The processing
of "New not SYN" packets may be extended by commands
in the new <a href="shorewall_extension_scripts.htm">newnotsyn

</ul>
<p><b>7/30/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.5b Released</b></p>
<p>This interim release:</p>

<p><b>7/28/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.5 Debian Package Available</b></p>
<p>Lorenzo Martignoni reports that the packages are version 1.3.5a and are
available at <a
href="http://security.dsi.unimi.it/%7Elorenzo/debian.html">http://security.dsi.unimi.it/~lorenzo/debian.html</a>.</p>
<p><b>7/27/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.5a Released</b></p>
<p>This interim release restores correct handling of REDIRECT rules. </p>
<p><b>7/26/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.5 Released</b></p>
<p>This will be the last Shorewall release for a while. I'm going to be
focusing on rewriting a lot of the documentation.</p>
<p><b><EFBFBD></b>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>Empty and invalid
source and destination qualifiers are now detected
in the rules file. It is a good idea to use the 'shorewall
check' command before you issue a 'shorewall restart'
command be be sure that you don't have any configuration problems
that will prevent a successful restart.</li>
<li>Added <b>MERGE_HOSTS</b>
variable in <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf"> shorewall.conf</a>
to provide saner behavior of the /etc/shorewall/hosts
file.</li>
<li>The time that
the counters were last reset is now displayed in the
heading of the 'status' and 'show' commands.</li>
<li>A <b>proxyarp
</b>option has been added for entries in <a
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>.
This option facilitates Proxy ARP sub-netting as described in
the Proxy ARP subnetting mini-HOWTO (<a
href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/">http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Proxy-ARP-Subnet/</a>).
Specifying the proxyarp option for an interface
causes Shorewall to set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/&lt;interface&gt;/proxy_arp.</li>
<li>The Samples
have been updated to reflect the new capabilities in
this release. </li>
</ul>
<p><b>7/16/2002 - New Mirror in Argentina</b></p>
<p>Thanks to Arturo "Buanzo" Busleiman, there is now a Shorewall mirror in
Argentina. Thanks Buanzo!!!</p>
<p><b>7/16/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.4 Released</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new <a
href="Documentation.htm#Routestopped"> /etc/shorewall/routestopped</a>
file has been added. This file is intended to
eventually replace the <b>routestopped</b> option
in the /etc/shorewall/interface and /etc/shorewall/hosts
files. This new file makes remote firewall administration
easier by allowing any IP or subnet to be enabled while
Shorewall is stopped.</li>
<li>An /etc/shorewall/stopped
<a href="Documentation.htm#Scripts">extension script</a>
has been added. This script is invoked after Shorewall
has stopped.</li>
<li>A <b>DETECT_DNAT_ADDRS
</b>option has been added to <a
href="Documentation.htm#Conf">/etc/shoreall/shorewall.conf</a>.
When this option is selected, DNAT rules only apply when
the destination address is the external interface's
primary IP address.</li>
<li>The <a
href="shorewall_quickstart_guide.htm">QuickStart Guide</a> has
been broken into three guides and has been almost
entirely rewritten.</li>
<li>The Samples
have been updated to reflect the new capabilities in
this release. </li>
</ul>

<p><b>7/6/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.3 Released</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>Entries in
/etc/shorewall/interface that use the wildcard character
("+") now have the "multi" option assumed.</li>
<li>The 'rfc1918'
chain in the mangle table has been renamed 'man1918'
to make log messages generated from that chain distinguishable
from those generated by the 'rfc1918' chain in the
filter table.</li>
<li>Interface names
appearing in the hosts file are now validated against
the interfaces file.</li>
<li>The TARGET
column in the rfc1918 file is now checked for correctness.</li>
<li>The chain structure
in the nat table has been changed to reduce the
number of rules that a packet must traverse and to correct
problems with NAT_BEFORE_RULES=No</li>
<li>The "hits"
command has been enhanced.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>6/25/2002 - Samples Updated for 1.3.2</b></p>
<p>The comments in the sample configuration files have been updated to reflect

added to /sbin/shorewall.</li>
<li>A <a

</ul>
<p><b>6/6/2002 - Why CVS Web access is Password Protected</b></p>
<p>Last weekend, I installed the CVS Web package to provide brower-based
access to the Shorewall CVS repository. Since then, I have had several
instances where my server was almost unusable due to the high load generated
by website copying tools like HTTrack and WebStripper. These mindless tools:</p>
<ul>
<li>Ignore robot.txt
files.</li>
<li>Recursively
copy everything that they find.</li>
<li>Should be classified
as weapons rather than tools.</li>
</ul>
<p>These tools/weapons are particularly damaging when combined with CVS Web
because they doggedly follow every link in the
cgi-generated HTML resulting in 1000s of executions
of the cvsweb.cgi script. Yesterday, I spend several
hours implementing measures to block these tools but unfortunately,
these measures resulted in my server OOM-ing under even
moderate load.</p>
<p>Until I have the time to understand the cause of the OOM (or until I buy
more RAM if that is what is required), CVS Web
access will remain Password Protected. </p>
<p><b>6/5/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.1 Debian Package Available</b></p>

<p><b>6/2/2002 - Samples Corrected</b></p>
<p>The 1.3.0 samples configurations had several serious problems that prevented
DNS and SSH from working properly. These problems
have been corrected in the <a
href="/pub/shorewall/samples-1.3.1">1.3.1 samples.</a></p>
<p><b>6/1/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.1 Released</b></p>
<p>Hot on the heels of 1.3.0, this release:</p>
<ul>
<li>Corrects a
serious problem with "all <i>&lt;zone&gt;</i> CONTINUE"
policies. This problem is present in all versions of
Shorewall that support the CONTINUE policy. These previous
versions optimized away the "all2<i>&lt;zone&gt;</i>"
chain and replaced it with the "all2all" chain with the usual
result that a policy of REJECT was enforced rather than the intended
CONTINUE policy.</li>
<li>Adds an <a
href="Documentation.htm#rfc1918">/etc/shorewall/rfc1918</a>
file for defining the exact behavior of the<a
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces"> 'norfc1918' interface option</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>5/29/2002 - Shorewall 1.3.0 Released</b></p>
<p>In addition to the changes in Beta 1, Beta 2 and RC1, Shorewall 1.3.0
includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>A 'filterping'
interface option that allows ICMP echo-request (ping)
requests addressed to the firewall to be handled by entries
in /etc/shorewall/rules and /etc/shorewall/policy.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>5/23/2002 - Shorewall 1.3 RC1 Available</b></p>
<p>In addition to the changes in Beta 1 and Beta 2, RC1 (Version 1.2.92)
incorporates the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for
the /etc/shorewall/whitelist file has been withdrawn.
If you need whitelisting, see <a
href="/1.3/whitelisting_under_shorewall.htm">these instructions</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>5/19/2002 - Shorewall 1.3 Beta 2 Available</b></p>
<p>In addition to the changes in Beta 1, this release which carries the
designation 1.2.91 adds:</p>
<ul>
<li>The structure
of the firewall is changed markedly. There is now
an INPUT and a FORWARD chain for each interface; this reduces
the number of rules that a packet must traverse, especially
in complicated setups.</li>
<li><a
href="Documentation.htm#Exclude">Sub-zones may now be excluded
from DNAT and REDIRECT rules.</a></li>
<li>The names of
the columns in a number of the configuration files
have been changed to be more consistent and self-explanatory
and the documentation has been updated accordingly.</li>
<li>The sample
configurations have been updated for 1.3.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>5/17/2002 - Shorewall 1.3 Beta 1 Available</b></p>
<p>Beta 1 carries the version designation 1.2.90 and implements the following
features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Simplified
rule syntax which makes the intent of each rule clearer
and hopefully makes Shorewall easier to learn.</li>
<li>Upward compatibility
with 1.2 configuration files has been maintained
so that current users can migrate to the new syntax
at their convenience.</li>
<li><b><font
color="#cc6666">WARNING:<3A> Compatibility with the old
parameterized sample configurations has NOT been maintained.

to the new sample configurations before upgrading to
1.3 Beta 1.</font></b></li>
</ul>
<p><b>5/4/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.13 is Available</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li><a
href="Documentation.htm#Whitelist">White-listing</a> is supported.</li>
<li><a
href="Documentation.htm#Policy">SYN-flood protection </a>is
added.</li>
<li>IP addresses
added under <a href="Documentation.htm#Conf">ADD_IP_ALIASES

<p><b>3/20/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.10 Released</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>A "shorewall
try" command has been added (syntax: shorewall try
<i> &lt;configuration directory&gt;</i>). This
command attempts "shorewall -c <i> &lt;configuration directory&gt;</i>
start" and if that results in the firewall being stopped
due to an error, a "shorewall start" command is executed. The
'try' command allows you to create a new <a

to start it; if there is an error that leaves your firewall
in the stopped state, it will automatically be restarted using
the default configuration (in /etc/shorewall).</li>
<li>A new variable
ADD_SNAT_ALIASES has been added to <a

If this variable is set to "Yes", Shorewall will automatically
add IP addresses listed in the third column of

<p><b>2/23/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.8 Released</b></p>
<p>Do to a serious problem with 1.2.7, I am releasing 1.2.8. It corrects
problems associated with the lock file used to prevent multiple state-changing
operations from occuring simultaneously. My
apologies for any inconvenience my carelessness
may have caused.</p>
<p><b>2/22/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.7 Released</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>UPnP probes
(UDP destination port 1900) are now silently dropped
in the <i>common</i> chain</li>
<li>RFC 1918 checking
in the mangle table has been streamlined to no longer
require packet marking. RFC 1918 checking in the filter
table has been changed to require half as many rules as previously.</li>
<li>A 'shorewall
check' command has been added that does a cursory
validation of the zones, interfaces, hosts, rules and
policy files.</li>

<p><b>2/8/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.6 Released</b></p>
<p>In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>$-variables
may now be used anywhere in the configuration files
except /etc/shorewall/zones.</li>
<li>The interfaces
and hosts files now have their contents validated
before any changes are made to the existing Netfilter
configuration. The appearance of a zone name that isn't
defined in /etc/shorewall/zones causes "shorewall start"
and "shorewall restart" to abort without changing the Shorewall
state. Unknown options in either file cause a warning to
be issued.</li>
<li>A problem occurring

<p>Due to installation problems with Shorewall 1.2.4, I have released Shorewall
1.2.5. Sorry for the rapid-fire development.</p>
<p>In version 1.2.5:</p>
<ul>
<li>The installation
problems have been corrected.</li>
<li><a

<li>A "shorewall
version" command has been added</li>
<li>The default
value of the STATEDIR variable in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
has been changed to /var/lib/shorewall in order
to conform to the GNU/Linux File Hierarchy Standard, Version
2.2.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>1/28/2002 - Shorewall 1.2.4 Released</b></p>
<ul>

<a href="Documentation.htm#FW">may now be given a different
name</a>.</li>
<li>You may now
place end-of-line comments (preceded by '#') in any
of the configuration files</li>
<li>There is now
protection against against two state changing operations
occuring concurrently. This is implemented using the
'lockfile' utility if it is available (lockfile is part
of procmail); otherwise, a less robust technique is used.
The lockfile is created in the STATEDIR defined in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
and has the name "lock".</li>
<li>"shorewall start"
no longer fails if "detect" is specified in
<a href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>

<p><b>11/1/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.17</b>.<2E> I intend
this to be the last of the 1.1 Shorewall
releases.</p>
<p> In this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>The handling
of <a href="Documentation.htm#Aliases">ADD_IP_ALIASES</a>
has been corrected.<2E></li>
</ul>
<p><b>10/22/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.16</b>. In this
version:</p>
<ul>
<li>A new "shorewall
show connections" command has been added.</li>
<li>In the "shorewall
monitor" output, the currently tracked connections
are now shown on a separate page.</li>
<li>Prior to this
release, Shorewall unconditionally added the external
IP adddress(es) specified in /etc/shorewall/nat. Beginning
with version 1.1.16, a new parameter (<a
href="Documentation.htm#Aliases">ADD_IP_ALIASES</a>) may be
set to "no" (or "No") to inhibit this behavior.
This allows IP aliases created using your distribution's
network configuration tools to be used in static
NAT.<2E></li>
</ul>
<p><b>10/15/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.15.</b> In this
version:</p>
<ul>
<li>Support for
nested zones has been improved. See <a
href="Documentation.htm#Nested"> the documentation</a> for details</li>
<li>Shorewall now
correctly checks the alternate configuration directory
for the 'zones' file.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>10/4/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.14.</b> In this
version</p>
<ul>
<li>Shorewall now
supports alternate configuration directories. When
an alternate directory is specified when starting or
restarting Shorewall (e.g., "shorewall -c /etc/testconf
restart"), Shorewall will first look for configuration files
in the alternate directory then in /etc/shorewall. To
create an alternate configuration simply:<br>
1. Create a New
Directory<br>
2. Copy to that
directory any of your configuration files that you
want to change.<br>
3. Modify the
copied files as needed.<br>
4. Restart Shorewall
specifying the new directory.</li>
<li>The rules for
allowing/disallowing icmp echo-requests (pings) are
now moved after rules created when processing the rules
file. This allows you to add rules that selectively allow/deny
ping based on source or destination address.</li>
<li>Rules that specify
multiple client ip addresses or subnets no longer
cause startup failures.</li>
<li>Zone names in
the policy file are now validated against the zones
file.</li>
<li>If you have
<a href="Documentation.htm#MangleEnabled">packet mangling</a>
support enabled, the "<a
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">norfc1918</a>"
interface option now logs and drops any incoming packets on
the interface that have an RFC 1918 destination address.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>9/12/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.13</b>. In this
version</p>
<ul>
<li>Shell variables
can now be used to parameterize Shorewall rules.</li>
<li>The second column
in the hosts file may now contain a comma-separated
list.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
<20><><EFBFBD> sea<65><61><EFBFBD>
eth0:130.252.100.0/24,206.191.149.0/24</li>

</ul>
<p><b>8/28/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.12</b>. In this

<ul>
<li>Several columns
in the rules file may now contain comma-separated

<li>Shorewall is
now more rigorous in parsing the options in /etc/shorewall/interfaces.</li>
<li>Complementation
using "!" is now supported in rules.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>7/28/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.11</b>. In this
version</p>
<ul>
<li>A "shorewall
refresh" command has been added to allow for refreshing
the rules associated with the broadcast address on a dynamic
interface. This command should be used in place of "shorewall
restart" when the internet interface's IP address changes.</li>
<li>The /etc/shorewall/start
file (if any) is now processed after all temporary
rules have been deleted. This change prevents the accidental
removal of rules added during the processing of that
file.</li>
<li>The "dhcp" interface
option is now applicable to firewall interfaces
used by a DHCP server running on the firewall.</li>
<li>The RPM can
now be built from the .tgz file using "rpm -tb"<22></li>
</ul>
<p><b>7/6/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.10.</b> In this
version</p>
<ul>
<li>Shorewall now
enables Ipv4 Packet Forwarding by default. Packet
forwarding may be disabled by specifying IP_FORWARD=Off
in /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf. If you don't
want Shorewall to enable or disable packet forwarding,
add IP_FORWARDING=Keep to your /etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf
file.</li>
<li>The "shorewall
hits" command no longer lists extraneous service
names in its last report.</li>
<li>Erroneous instructions
in the comments at the head of the firewall script
have been corrected.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>6/23/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.9.</b> In this

<ul>
<li>The "tunnels"
file <u>really</u> is in the RPM now.</li>
<li>SNAT can now
be applied to port-forwarded connections.</li>
<li>A bug which
would cause firewall start failures in some dhcp configurations
has been fixed.</li>
<li>The firewall
script now issues a message if you have the name of
an interface in the second column in an entry in /etc/shorewall/masq
and that interface is not up.</li>
<li>You can now
configure Shorewall so that it<a
href="Documentation.htm#NatEnabled"> doesn't require the NAT and/or
mangle netfilter modules</a>.</li>
<li>Thanks to Alex<65>
Polishchuk, the "hits" command from seawall is
now in shorewall.</li>
<li>Support for
<a href="IPIP.htm">IPIP tunnels</a> has been added.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>6/18/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.8</b>. In this
version</p>
<ul>
<li>A typo in the
sample rules file has been corrected.</li>
<li>It is now possible
to restrict masquerading by<a

</ul>
<p><b>5/25/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.6</b>. In this
version</p>
<ul>
<li><a
href="Documentation.htm#lograte">You may now rate-limit the
packet log.</a></li>
<li> Previous
versions of Shorewall have an implementation of Static
NAT which violates the principle of least surprise.<2E>
NAT only occurs for packets arriving at (DNAT) or send
from (SNAT) the interface named in the INTERFACE column of
/etc/shorewall/nat. Beginning with version 1.1.6, NAT effective
regardless of which interface packets come from or are destined
to. To get compatibility with prior versions, I have added
a new "ALL <a href="NAT.htm#AllInterFaces">"ALL INTERFACES"<22>
column to /etc/shorewall/nat</a>. By placing "no" or "No"
in the new column, the NAT behavior of prior versions may
be retained.<2E></li>
<li>The treatment
of <a href="IPSEC.htm#RoadWarrior">IPSEC Tunnels where the
remote gateway is a standalone system has been improved</a>.
Previously, it was necessary to include an additional rule allowing
UDP port 500 traffic to pass through the tunnel. Shorewall will
now create this rule automatically when you place the name of
the remote peer's zone in a new GATEWAY ZONE column in /etc/shorewall/tunnels.<2E></li>

<li>In the .lrp,

An extra space after "/etc/shorwall/policy" has been
removed and "/etc/shorwall/rules" has been added.</li>
<li>When a sub-shell

<li>A problem has
been corrected where a sub-shell stopped the firewall
and main shell continued resulting in a perplexing error
message referring to "common.so" resulted.</li>
<li>Previously,
placing "-" in the PORT(S) column in /etc/shorewall/rules

and common chains <a href="Documentation.htm#Icmpdef">may
now be user-defined</a>.</li>
<li>The firewall
no longer fails to start if "routefilter" is specified
for an interface that isn't started. A warning message
is now issued in this case.</li>
<li>The LRP Version
is renamed "shorwall" for 8,3 MSDOS file system
compatibility.</li>
<li>A couple of
LRP-specific problems were corrected.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>4/8/2001 - Shorewall is now affiliated with the <a

</a></p>
<p><b>4/5/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.1. In this version:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>The common chain
is traversed from INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD before
logging occurs</li>
<li>The source has
been cleaned up dramatically</li>
<li>DHCP DISCOVER
packets with RFC1918 source addresses no longer
generate log messages. Linux DHCP clients generate such
packets and it's annoying to see them logged.<2E></li>
</ul>
<p><b>3/25/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.1.0. In this version:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Log messages
now indicate the packet disposition.</li>
<li>Error messages
have been improved.</li>
<li>The ability
to define zones consisting of an enumerated set of
hosts and/or subnetworks has been added.</li>
<li>The zone-to-zone
chain matrix is now sparse so that only those chains
that contain meaningful rules are defined.</li>
<li>240.0.0.0/4
and 169.254.0.0/16 have been added to the source
subnetworks whose packets are dropped under the <i>norfc1918</i>
interface option.</li>
<li>Exits are now
provided for executing an user-defined script when
a chain is defined, when the firewall is initialized,
when the firewall is started, when the firewall
is stopped and when the firewall is cleared.</li>
<li>The Linux kernel's
route filtering facility can now be specified
selectively on network interfaces.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>3/19/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.0.4. This version:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Allows user-defined
zones. Shorewall now has only one pre-defined
zone (fw) with the remaining zones being defined in the
new configuration file /etc/shorewall/zones. The
/etc/shorewall/zones file released in this version provides
behavior that is compatible with Shorewall 1.0.3.<2E></li>
<li>Adds the ability
to specify logging in entries in the /etc/shorewall/rules
file.</li>
<li>Correct handling
of the icmp-def chain so that only ICMP packets are
sent through the chain.</li>
<li>Compresses the
output of "shorewall monitor" if awk is installed.
Allows the command to work if awk isn't installed (although
it's not pretty).</li>
</ul>
<p><b>3/13/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.0.3. This is a bug-fix
release with no new features.</b></p>
<ul>
<li>The PATH variable
in the firewall script now includes /usr/local/bin
and /usr/local/sbin.</li>
<li>DMZ-related
chains are now correctly deleted if the DMZ is deleted.</li>
<li>The interface
OPTIONS for "gw" interfaces are no longer ignored.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>3/8/2001 - The current version of Shorewall is 1.0.2. It supports an
additional "gw" (gateway) zone for tunnels and
it supports IPSEC tunnels with end-points on the firewall.
There is also a .lrp available now.</b></p>
