This is a minor release of Shorewall.
|
|
|
|
Problems Corrected since version 1.4.8:
|
|
|
|
1) There has been a low continuing level of confusion over the terms
|
|
"Source NAT" (SNAT) and "Static NAT". To avoid future confusion, all
|
|
instances of "Static NAT" have been replaced with "One-to-one NAT"
|
|
in the documentation and configuration files.
|
|
|
|
2) The description of NEWNOTSYN in shorewall.conf has been reworded for
|
|
clarity.
|
|
|
|
3) Wild-card rules (those involving "all" as SOURCE or DEST) will no
|
|
longer produce an error if they attempt to add a rule that would
|
|
override a NONE policy. The logic for expanding these wild-card
|
|
rules now simply skips those (SOURCE,DEST) pairs that have a NONE
|
|
policy.
|
|
|
|
Migration Issues:
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
New Features:
|
|
|
|
1) To cut down on the number of "Why are these ports closed rather than
|
|
stealthed?" questions, the SMB-related rules in
|
|
/etc/shorewall/common.def have been changed from 'reject' to 'DROP'.
|
|
|
|
2) For easier identification, packets logged under the 'norfc1918'
|
|
interface option are now logged out of chains named
|
|
'rfc1918'. Previously, such packets were logged under chains named
|
|
'logdrop'.
|
|
|
|
3) Distributors and developers seem to be regularly inventing new
|
|
naming conventions for kernel modules. To avoid the need to change
|
|
Shorewall code for each new convention, the MODULE_SUFFIX option has
|
|
been added to shorewall.conf. MODULE_SUFFIX may be set to the suffix
|
|
for module names in your particular distribution. If MODULE_SUFFIX
|
|
is not set in shorewall.conf, Shorewall will use the list "o gz ko
|
|
o.gz".
|
|
|
|
To see what suffix is used by your distribution:
|
|
|
|
ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter
|
|
|
|
All of the files listed should have the same suffix (extension). Set
|
|
MODULE_SUFFIX to that suffix.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
If all files end in ".kzo" then set MODULE_SUFFIX="kzo"
|
|
If all files end in ".kz.o" then set MODULE_SUFFIX="kz.o"
|
|
|
|
4) Support for user defined rule ACTIONS has been implemented through
|
|
two new files:
|
|
|
|
/etc/shorewall/actions - used to list the user-defined ACTIONS.
|
|
/etc/shorewall/action.template - For each user defined <action>, copy
|
|
this file to
|
|
/etc/shorewall/action.<action> and
|
|
add the appropriate rules for that
|
|
<action>.
|
|
Once an <action> has been defined, it may be used like any of the
|
|
builtin ACTIONS (ACCEPT, DROP, etc.) in /etc/shorewall/rules.
|
|
|
|
Example: You want an action that logs a packet at the 'info' level
|
|
and accepts the connection.
|
|
|
|
In /etc/shorewall/actions, you would add:
|
|
|
|
LogAndAccept
|
|
|
|
You would then copy /etc/shorewall/action.template to
|
|
/etc/shorewall/action.LogAndAccept and in that file, you would add the two
|
|
rules:
|
|
|
|
LOG:info
|
|
ACCEPT
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
