Download NuFW 2.2.1

The NuFW program is an extensive firewall that can filter each connection based on the user’s rights and the operating system used. It uses an ldap server for checking the permissions and Netfilter for applying the set filtering technique. For more information about NuFW, please refer to this page. The developers have released version 2.2.1 with the following announcement:

NuFW 2.2.1 is available. The main change is related to attribution by IANA of two ports : 4128 and 4129. They are now the default values ​​for nufw to nuauth communication (4128) and client to nuauth communication (4129). It can change things on previously running systems and we thus recommend that you carefully check the port settings when upgrading. The main issue should be on clients and on nufw server as ports are usually set for nuauth in nuauth.conf.

In the mean time, this release also features some bug fixes. The full changelog is as follows:

• port change: IANA has assigned 4128 and 4129 to nufw and nuauth
• x509_std: code cleaning and fix potential crash
• NuFW: fixed compilation on some distribution (for AMD64 architecture)
• client manager: close the client socket even if shutdown fails
• pam_nufw: fix free(home) in _get_runpid()
• nutcpc: fixed creation of .nufw directory
