ip_conntrack_ftp as a module or built-in?
Hello,
sorry for this generic question, but I searched long, without any clue.
On my linux box I load the ip_conntrack_ftp module with some parameter (to let the HylaFAX daemon talk with the clients):
insmod ip_conntrack_ftp ports=21,4559
Is there a way to pass that "ports" parameter to the kernel, if the feature is compiled into the kernel, instead of as a module?
May be this is a generic modprobe question...
Thank you anyway.

I'm not sure if passing that parameter to the kernel during boot time will work (probably not).
Why would you do that anyway : why not use the module ?

We are developing a network appliance and we are trying to keep a small static kernel, with only the required features, no KMOD, no discover, hotplug or whatever.
Infact this is a more generic question: a module that accepts some paramters can be built into the kernel and still receive all of them?
Thanks

This is about the only scenario in which built-in netfilter drivers make sense.
