Hi all cookfire supporters,
We are pleased to announce MandrakeSecurity Release Candidate 1
(a.k.a MandrakeFirewall, a.k.a Mandrake Internet Security Pack,
a.k.a "cookfire").
You may read the annoucement on Mandrake Forum at
www.mandrakeforum.org
You should find the iso on the usual mirrors. This is a i586 version,
and we should release an unsupported i386 release later.
Here are the main improvements over the previous Beta 4:
- the new stable 2.2.19 kernel (fixes IP defragmentation problem)
- port forwarding with a dynamic external IP address
- several corrections related to internet access configuration
- detailed system informations by clicking on the signal on the right
- slight improvements in the interface (more informations, dhcp
client configuration, ...)
- new dhcpd version, and monitoring
- squidGuard lists backup and restore
- display of total traffic volumes
- better ssh applet handling (works with more browsers)
- link to the online documentation
- integration of Intrusion Detection Systems: Prelude 0.3
(see http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~yoann/projects/prelude/) and Snort.
- libsafe2 preloading
Release Candidate means that the project enters a bug-fixes only phase
for the next two weeks. You can help us by posting on this list to report
any bug.
Have first fun and then give us feedback !
Regards,
The Firewall Team
