2008-11-18filter: choose the filtering method via configuration filePablo Neira Ayuso
This patch changes the current behaviour of the filtering selection. Up to now, conntrackd has used the kernel version to select the filtering method based on the following logic: If kernel is >= 2.6.26 we use BSF-based filtering from kernel-space, otherwise, default to userspace. However, this filtering method still lacks of IPv6 support and it requires a patch that got into 2.6.29 to filter IPv6 addresses from kernel-space. To fix this issue, we default to user-space filtering and let the user choose the method via the configuration file. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2008-10-26ftfw: add option `-v' to output debugging information (if any)Pablo Neira Ayuso
This patch introduces the option `-v' to show useful debugging information, if any. As for now, only sync-ftfw.c make use of it to display the content and the length of the resent list/queue. This is useful to check for message leaks. Other working modes or synchronization approaches may use it to display debugging information in the future. This patch removes _SIGNAL_DEBUG in sync-ftfw.c that was used for for the same purpose. However, it could only be enabled at compilation time and it uses signalling instead of the standard UNIX socket interface that conntrackd provides.

2008-10-21conntrackd: add missing information on -t to the helpPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds missing information on -t when conntrackd is invoked with -h. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
2008-09-17filter: check if kernel-space filtering is availablePablo Neira Ayuso
Check if the Linux kernel is >= 2.6.26, otherwise it does not support kernel-space filtering. This is not clean but we have no choice, the BSF infrastructure does not return ENOTSUPP for unsupported operations. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

2008-08-02conntrackd: add -t option to shorten conntrack timeoutsPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch adds the new option `-t' for conntrackd. This option shortens the value of the timeout for the cached entries that lives in the kernel. This option is particularly useful to remove the zombie established entries that remain in kernel if the user tests the platform by forcing the takeover from one to another node several times. We currently use the value of CommitTimeout which is sane for it. Adding a new option does not seem to add more flexibility IMO. Once we get the patches to notify user changes via ctnetlink and the netlink flag NLM_F_ECHO works, we may directly invoke a massive purge of the entries, however, such solution would still need evaluation.
