[Firehol-support] [Firehol-devs] FireHOL to be released

[Costa Tsaousis]

Hi all,

FireHOL R5 v1.255 has been released!
Fixed kernel 2.6.20+ compatibility issues, fixed BASH 3.2 compatibility 
issues, fixed various iptables compatibility issues.

FireHOL now supports external definitions of RESERVED_IPS 
<commands.html#RESERVED_IPS>, PRIVATE_IPS <commands.html#PRIVATE_IPS>, 
MULTICAST_IPS <commands.html#MULTICAST_IPS>, UNROUTABLE_IPS 
<commands.html#UNROUTABLE_IPS> in /etc/firehol. Also, complains if 
RESERVED_IPS <commands.html#RESERVED_IPS> is older that 90 days.

Policy <commands.html#policy>, now works on routers 
<commands.html#router> too.

Updated services: nfs <services.html#nfs>, OSPF <services.html#OSPF>, 
sip <services.html#sip>, vmwareweb <services.html#vmwareweb>. Added 
protections: bad-packets <commands.html#protection>, all-floods 
<commands.html#protection>. Added actions: tarpit 
<commands.html#tarpit>. Added support for the recent 
<commands.html#accept> iptables module. Added addrtype (srctype 
<commands.html#srctype>, dsttype <commands.html#dsttype>) support in 
optional rule parameters.

Added FIREHOL_DROP_ORPHAN_TCP_ACK_FIN 
<commands.html#FIREHOL_DROP_ORPHAN_TCP_ACK_FIN> for busy servers.
Added FIREHOL_LOG_PREFIX <commands.html#FIREHOL_LOG_PREFIX> to improve 
logging.

Thank you all for your support.
