<P> _Lots_ of good new stuff. Mason handles log entries from |
|
21 |
ipchains or ipfwadm automatically. The command it runs can be either |
|
22 |
an ipchain or ipfwadm command, and it can output either an ipchain or |
|
23 |
ipfwadm command. All independently. See the ECHCOMMAND=... and |
|
24 |
DOCOMMAND=... parameters, above. |
|
25 |
<P>_Major_ speedup! Keep reading lines until the 7th-13th fields |
|
26 |
are different from the previous line; this probably quadruples Mason's |
|
27 |
throughput or better. Bonus points to the readers who can read morse |
|
28 |
code from the heartbeat output... Oh, and I added heartbeat output to |
|
29 |
show that Mason hasn't just crashed. :-) |
|
30 |
<P>Mason handles interfaces whose IP address changes automatically; |
|
31 |
see the DYNIF=... parameter, above. |
|
32 |
<P>Note: additional ipchains fields are: |
|

|
34 |
L=Total length |
|
35 |
S=TOS |
|
36 |
I=ip->id? |
|

F=Fragment offset |

<P> -k added to control the direction in which connections are made. |
|
44 |
Unfortunately, the ftp-data port doesn't honor the simple rule for -k; I |
|
45 |
suspect this is a consequence of PASV vs. "active?" ftp opening the data |
|
46 |
connection in one direction of the other. Hmmm... This was released to |
|
47 |
the world as 0.7.9. |

<P> (6/21/98) 20% speed improvement by changing read command. Local |
|
52 |
name cache added. On the fly policy changing. Comments. Major |
|
53 |
documentation updates. Another 20% performance improvement by replacing |
|
54 |
some sed's with bash internal pattern deletion. 6% more by using ${#..}
|
|
55 |
instead of wc --bytes to size strings. Cut time necessary to process |
|
56 |
non-firewall lines in third by using && instead of -a.
