Shorewall 2.0.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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
<zone>_frwd chain.
3) Thanks to Sean Mathews, a long-standing problem with Proxy ARP and
IPSEC has been corrected. Thanks Sean!!!
4) The "shorewall show log" and "shorewall logwatch" commands
incorrectly displayed type 3 ICMP packets.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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perform RFC 1918 filtering without having to deal with out
of date data from IANA.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 [ <chain>[ <chain> ...] ]
shorewall -x show tos|mangle
shorewall -x show nat
shorewall -x status
shorewall -x monitor [ <interval> ]
4) Shorewall now traps two common zone definition errors:
- Including the firewall zone in a /etc/shorewall/hosts record.
- Defining an interface for a zone in both /etc/shorewall/interfaces
and /etc/shorewall/hosts.
In the second case, the following will appear during "shorewall
[re]start" or "shorewall check":
Determining Hosts in Zones...
...
Error: Invalid zone definition for zone <name of zone>
Terminated
5) To support bridging, the following options have been added to
entries in /etc/shorewall/hosts:
norfc1918
nobogons
blacklist
tcpflags
nosmurfs
newnotsyn
With the exception of 'newnotsyn', these options are only
useful when the entry refers to a bridge port.
Example:
#ZONE HOST(S) OPTIONS
net br0:eth0 norfc1918,nobogons,blacklist,tcpflags,nosmurfs
