This announcement appeared on the Netfilter Development list again this week. This was discussed last summer on the Shorewall Development list but not on the other Shorewall lists.
What: iptables SAME target
When: 1.1. 2008
Files: net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_SAME.c,
include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_SAME.h
Why: Obsolete for multiple years now, NAT core provides the same
behaviour. Unfixable broken wrt. 32/64 bit cleanness.
Who: Patrick McHardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
For those who don't know him, Patrick McHardy is the newly-elected leader of
the Netfilter team, replacing Harald Welte.
To avoid problems next year, it would be a good idea to begin converting
your SAME rules to DNAT/SNAT rules.
