conntrackd-0.9.1 released

Overview:

Conntrackd is the userspace daemon for the Connection Tracking System. This daemon maintains a copy of the Connection Tracking System in userspace. It is entirely written in C and is highly configurable and easily extensible. Currently it covers the specific aspects of Stateful Linux firewalls to enable High Availability (HA) solutions and can be used as statistics collector of the firewall use.

Status:

This project is under development, people feeling brave are encouraged to test a send nice reports ;)

Am Montag, den 6. November hub Pablo Neira Ayuso folgendes in die Tasten:

So far: It seems to work :)

I felt brave enough to create a debian like init.d script and a whole debian directory for the source tree to simplify building of conntrackd packages.

Also I wrote a little script to be used as heartbeat resource.d plugin which is included in the tar-ball as exmaple.

As a debian dir is included in the libnetfilter_conntrack and libnfnetlink tar-balls it thought this could be helpfull. :)

You can download the tarball of the debian/ dir at
http://files.rfc2324.org/conntrackd/

Pablo, would you include this in further versions?

Btw at
deb http://debian.rfc2324.org/debian sarge conntrackd deb-src http://debian.rfc2324.org/debian sarge conntrackd
you can download precompiled packages for sarge.

Ciao
Max

Hi Max,

Thanks

Interesting also for heartbeat users, although I prefer keepalived that IMHO has a tighter integration with linux (through netlink sockets) although I must confess that I don't know the current development status of heartbeart.

I think so, I'm going to put this in the source tree as soon as I get time to review it ;)
