Beta 2 is now available for testing.
Problems Corrected:
1) In an initial installation of Shorewall, Shorewall6, Shorewall Lite
or Shorewall6 Lite was done under Shorewall 4.5.2, then the
firewall would not start up at boot even though the installer
indicated that it would. That defect has been corrected.
New Features:
1) The 'refresh' command now allows additional options:
-d - Run the rules compiler under the Perl debugger.
-n - Don't modify routing.
-T - Produce a Perl Stack trace on errors and warnings.
-D <directory> - Look in <directory> first for configuration files.
2) A change has been made in the packaging for Slackware. On
Slackware, there is an /etc/rc.d/firewall.rc script that looks for
/etc/rc.d/shorewall.rc and /etc/rc.d/shorewall6.rc and runs them,
passing it's own arguments.
The firewall.rc script is named init.slackware.firewall.sh and has
traditionally been included in the Shorewall package. Beginning
with this release, it is moved to the Shorewall-core package. This
opens the door for releasing Slackware versions of the -lite
products in the future.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
