Beta 5 is now ready for testing. Problems Corrected:
1) Previously, proxy ARP with logical interface names did not
work. Symptoms included numerous Perl runtime error messages.
New Features:
1) Beta 5 introduces format-2 actions. Based on the similar
feature of macros, format-2 actions allow the same column layout
for macros, actions and rules.
In the action.xxx file, simply make the first non-commentary line:
FORMAT 2
This allows the lines which follow to have the same columns as
those in the rules file. As with format 1 actions, zone names may
not appear in the SOURCE and DEST columns.
As part of this change, the earlier kludgy restrictions regarding
Macros and Actions have been eliminated. For example, DNAT, DNAT-,
REDIRECT, REDIRECT- and ACCEPT+ rules are now allowed in Actions
and in macros invoked from Actions. Additionally, Macros used in
Actions are now free to invoke other actions.
The Shorewall patch looks formidable but is not as bad as it looks. It
involved adding a new Perl module (Shorewall::Misc) and re-distributing
the functions in Shorewall::Actions and Shorewall::Rules.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
