Shorewall 4.6.13.3 is now available for download. It includes backports of some fixes and features from the Shorewall 5.0 series releases.
Problems Corrected:
1) Previously, Shorewall6 rejected rules in which the SOURCE contained
both an interface name and a MAC address (in Shorewall
format). That defect has been corrected so that such rules are now
accepted.
2) A number of corrections have been made to the install, uninstall
and configure scripts (Matt Darfeuille).
3) Previously, optional interfaces were not enabled during 'start' and
'restart' unless there was at least one entry in the 'providers'
file. This resulted in these interfaces not appearing in the
output of 'shorewall[6] status -i'.
4) The check for use of a circular kernel log buffer (as opposed to a
log file) has been improved.
5) Previously, if a circular log buffer was being used, the output of
various commands still displayed '/var/log/messages' as the log
file. Now, it is displayed as 'logread'.
6) When processing the 'dump' command, the CLI now uses 'netstat' to
print socket information when the 'ss' utility is not installed.
New Features:
1) Support for OpenWRT versions BB and later has been added. Included
in this support are:
- The log display commands (show log, logwatch, etc.) no longer
depend on the 'tac' utility (although it will be used if it is
installed).
- Shorewall-core's 'configure' script detects OpenWRT and accepts
HOST=openwrt as an argument.
- Shorewall-core, Shorewall-lite and Shoreawll6-lite installers
support openwrt. Additionally, those installers no longer depend
on the 'install' utility.
- Shorewall[6]-lite will use OpenWRT's 'lock' utility to create the
LOCKFILE.
A special thanks to Matt Darfeuille for his help in making this
support possible.
Thank you for using Shorewall.
