From the home page of www.shorewall.net (or any of the mirrors), you can *always* determine current version(s). From the Table of Contents, follow the link labled "Current Shorewall Versions". > currently i've Shorewall 3.0.5 installed and working just fine over a > Fedora Core 4 Box over VMWARE.

I suggest that you read http://www1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/3.0/shorewall-3.0.9/releasenotes.txt and decide for yourself. You can read about all of the problems corrected and new features added since 3.0.5 and make up your own mind whether you want to upgrade. As Cristian has pointed out, Shorewall 3.2.6 is the current stable version; the 3.0 series is still fully supported though. There were lots of features added in 3.2 -- see http://www1.shorewall.net/pub/shorewall/3.2/shorewall-3.2.6/releasenotes.txt. The chief advantage of 3.2 over 3.0 is that [re]start disables new connections for a much shorter period of time. If none of the new 3.2 features matter to you, then feel free to stay with the 3.0 series. It will continue to be supported until sometime in the spring of next year when Shorewall 3.4 will be released. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
