Bugs fixed in tools
- fixed bug #848545: "fwb_install via GUI problem with ssh
terminal". Policy install script fwb_install calls ssh with a
command line switch "-n" to avoind problems when the script is
called from the GUI which works in the background and has no
access to tty.
Bugs fixed in iptables policy compiler fwb_ipt:
- fixed bug #848541: "Nothing to flush" on firewall
execution. Iptables script flushes all aliased IPs on the
firewall before installing new configuration, this caused
harmless diagnostic print "nothing to flush" if there were no
aliases.
Bugs fixed in iptables policy compiler fwb_ipf:
- fixed bug #851489: "Accept TCP sessions opened prior" no
saveable in ipfilter firewall dialog.
- optimization of ipfilter configuration is now
optional. Added checkbox "Optimization" in the ipfilter target
firewall dialog and corresponding support in fwb_ipf.
- fixed bug #851490: cannot use skip with quick. Ipfilter
command "skip" does not allow keyword "quick".
- fixed bug #851698 'Incorrect "skip" counters in ipf
script'. fwb_ipf generated negative skip counters for certain
rules.
