Firewall Builder Release Notes
Version 2.1.8
Released 12/02/2006
GUI and compilers v2.1.8 require API library libfwbuilder version 2.1.8
Summary
For those who wish to build from source, instructions are outlined in the
document "Install and Build instructions" on our web site here
Installation
Optinon poll ran on the fwbuilder-discussion mailing list showed that
majority of users are not interested in ability to install and run both
fwbuilder 2.0 and 2.1 on the same machine at the same time. Hence we are
reverting to the old naming schema without suffix '21' for the binaries
and man pages in this release.
Improvements and bug fixes in the GUI
* The user can search for objects using regular expressions matching
their names or attributes.
* Fixed bug #1592130: "Policy Chaining Issues". The GUI should properly
display nested branch rulesets. The user can create policy branches
within other branches.
All compilers
* Fixed bug #1590746 "problem with using "DNS Names" objects on MS
Windows". Compiler failed to convert DNSName objects set to resolve at
compile time into IP addresses.
Compiler for iptables
* fixed bug #1593221: "iptables filtering bridge problem - PHYSDEV: no
physdev opti..." Some times rules were generated with "-m physdev" but
witout "--physdev-in" or "--physdev-out" options.
Compiler for Cisco PIX
* fixed a bug (no num, support req. #1604103: "fwb_pix policy compiler
dies when SNMP or NTP hosts defined". Compiler did not print error
message when it could not find an interface with network zone matching
IP address of NTP or SNMP server (it just printed the address without
explanation of what went wrong)
* Experimental utility fwb_pix_diff has been added to the package. This
utility takes two PIX configurations on the command line and produces
the 'diff' that consists of a set of commands that should bring the
firewall from the state defined by the first config to the state
defined by the second. Only PIX 7.0 is supported. This utility will be
incorporated into policy installer in the future to make policy
updates simpler and faster, especially when small changes are made to
the large set of access lists and nat rules.
