[Shorewall-users] Shorewall 5.1.4.1

[Tom Eastep]

Shorewall 5.1.4.1 is now available for download.

Problems Corrected:

1) The introductory material in shorewall-rules(5) has been cleaned
up.

2) The information about LOGFORMAT in shorewall[6].conf(5) and
shorewall[6]-zones(5) has been expanded.

In Shorewall 5.1.0, the setting of LOGFORMAT in the default and
sample .conf files was changed to "%s:%s " to enable 10-character
zone names (up from 5 characters using the default
"Shorewall:%s:%s:" setting). As part of this change, if a
shorewall.conf file which did not set LOGFORMAT is updated using
"shorewall update", LOGFORMAT is set to "Shorewall:%s:%s:" to
preserve the existing behavior.

This can have an effect on new installations, however in that
scipts or log analyzers can no longer be configured to simply look
for "Shorewall:" in log messages unless the setting of LOGFORMAT is
changed. The manpages (and the Migration Considerations below) have
been updated to describe how to locate these messages using the new
"%s:%s " setting.

3) The BLACKLIST action was inadvertently omitted from Shorewall6 in
Shorewall 5.1.1. That has been corrected.

Thank you for using Shorewall,
