Shorewall 5.0.4 Beta 1 is now available for testing.
Problems Corrected:
1) There previously existed a slight possibility that starting both
Shorewall and Shorewall6 simultaneously could lead to a failure
such as this one:
Dec 18 13:18:35 elmo.example.com shorewall6[1889]:Loading Modules...
Dec 18 13:18:38 elmo.example.com shorewall6[1889]: Another app is
currently holding the xtables lock. Perhaps you want to use
the -w option?
Dec 18 13:18:40 elmo.example.com shorewall6[1889]:
ERROR: Cannot Create Mangle chain fooX2349
Dec 18 13:18:40 elmo.example.com systemd[1]: shorewall6.service:
main process exited, code=exited, status=255/n/a
That problem can no longer occur.
New Features:
1) Shorewall Init is now supported on OpenWRT.
2) The IPTABLES and IP6TABLES actions in the rules and mangle files
can now correctly handle logging targets (LOG, ULOG and
NFLOG). Previously, an attempt to use these targets would result in
an error similar to:
ERROR: LOG requires a level
3) To further reduce the possibility of failures caused by Shorewall
and Shorewall6 starting concurrently, a new WAIT_OPTION capability
has been implemented. On systems with that capability, all
'iptables' and 'ip6tables' commands will use the --wait option.
4) The .214.service files have been removed and the .service files
(with the exception of Debian) have been updated to use the
network-pre.target.
5) Shorewall, Shorewall6, Shorewall-lite and Shorewall6-lite now
install /etc/sysconfig/<product> files for specifying
start/restart/reload options on those distributions that use
/etc/sysconfig.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
