4.5.17 Beta 1 is now available for testing. Problems Corrected:
1) A number of issues have been corrected in the Debian and
Redhat/Fedora Shorewall-init SysV init scripts:
a) Settings in ${SHAREDIR}/vardir are now handled correctly.
b) Exit status is now returned correctly.
c) Stale lock files are avoided.
2) When the compiled firewall script is run directly, it no longer
attempts to copy itself onto itself using the 'cp' utility.
New Features:
1) Route types 'blackhole', 'unreachable' and 'prohibit' are no longer
copied to provider routing tables by default when
USE_DEFAULT_RT=No. You may cause them to be copied by including
'blackhole', 'unreachable' and/or 'prohibit' in the COPY list along
with interface names.
2) Previously, the generated script always added a host route to a
provider's gateway in the provider's routing table. Beginning with
this release, the 'noautosrc' provider option can be used to
inhibit this behavior. 'noautosrc' must be used with care since the
absense of such a route can cause start/restart runtime failures.
3) A '-c' (conditional) option has been added to the 'compile' command.
This option causes compilation to proceed if:
a) The specified (or defaulted) firewall script does not exist; or
b) A file on the CONFIG_PATH (including any directory specified in
the command) is newer than the existing script.
Note: This new feature is not described in the release notes
in the Beta 1 packages.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
