2.4.20 kernel patched with the latest grsecurity patch (1.9.9h). UPX must now be used with the -f flag to compress the kernel.
2.4.20 kernel patched with ebtables(V2.0.003) and last br-nf(V0.0.10) patch. The ebtables.lrp package provides the ebtables userland program which is used to make filtering rules for a Linux-based Ethernet bridge. You will have to remove Shorewall from your configuration if you want to use this facility. This is untested. I would really appreciate some feedback!
Shorewall updated to latest version 1.4.2
Superfreeswan (1.99.6.2 version) now provided in lieu of freeswan. It is the 1.99 version of freeswan patched for x509 support (0.9.28 version), NAT-traversal (0.5a) and Notification/delete patches from Mathieu Lafon and crypto patches from JJ Ciarlante. Jeff Newmiller deserves a special thanks for helping me to have the userland programs compiled under debian/slink !
bug in /etc/bin/df
corrected: arguments
were ignored.
pump.lrp updated to version 0.8.14-2
/etc/pump.shorewall
modified. It does not
start Shorewall anymore since /etc/init.d/shorewall
is doing it.
pcmcia.lrp updated to version 3.2.4
New pcmcia_hostap.lrp and pcmcia_wlan.lrp packages to be used as a replacement of pcmcia.lrp for an easy configuration of your pcmcia cards in hostap mode or using the Prism2 wlan-ng driver. Do not forget to rename it pcmcia.lrp after download!
iptables.lrp updated to version 1.2.8
ulogd.lrp updated to version 1.0
sysklogd now starts from /etc/rcS.d

Otherwise initial pump output was not logged to debug. As a
