conntrack utility

Hi,

I've been playing with the conntrack recently, mainly to get conntrack_sip working. Because I had some problems having it working on a router with no nat. I compiled the conntrack utility, expecting to make some debug with it. But I cannot have the conntrack utility working. I use latest available version of the required libs and utility:

- libnfnetlink-0.0.14
- libnetfilter_conntrack-0.0.30
- conntrack-1.00beta1

together with a kernel 2.6.16.20 and iptables 1.3.5

When invoking conntrack as root I always get the following error:

Operation failed: invalid parameters

I am apparently not the only one having this kind of trouble (cf this list post on february 17th). I am wondering if there is any chance I can have a release of conntrack working. Do some of you have it working (if so what version of the libraries/conttrack do you play with ?).

If you have any hints, I would be glad to ear from you. Just knowing it work somewhere else and people use it sometimes would make me happy, so I could carry on compiling on other environement and pray god a bit more longer.

thanks for your feedback

Vincent

Hi,

In fact it works !

But you mainly have to use subversion to get something working with recent kernel.

An alternative is to use the archive I've generated in the scope of nufw and of an article to come in Linux Magazine France :

Netfilter core team are aware of the problem and should do a release quiet soon. But they are quiet busy nowadays :-(
