Hi All, I'm new one the list and thought it somewhat appropriate to divulge a little info about myself Name: Cilliè Country : South-Africa I work for a ISP and we have been playing with tc/iptables/iproute snort and a whole load of other stuff on and off for the past view months. I have a small problem with tc that I struggle to find a solution for and was wondering if someone would be so kind as to help with it. I have successfully set up some queuing chains, classfull and some tbf's and sfq's but felt limited with the extent of tc's packet classifier. So i thought that the FWMARK thing would be a great solution to the problem, but unfortunately I can not get this to work. Marking of the packets appears to be successfull but tc's classifier [ rule something like "fw handle 6" ] fails to pick up the marked packets ( if its all right if i explain this so crudely ) I have tried several different kernels, with the patches applied, and yet it still seems to fail in this. First was a patched RH 7.3 kernel ( 2.5.18-3 ) A redhat 9 kernel and a gentoo linux kernel that had already been patched with [filter on fwmark] and all the other relevant stuff. All the relevant options are compiled in. As i'm writing this a stock 2.4.20 kernel is also being compiled. Could anyone please try and clarify for me why this does not work ( or what I am 10 to 1 doing wrong ?) I would really appreciate this Best Regards, Ciiliè -- evil is the r00t of all windows boxes _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list / LARTC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.ds9a.nl/mailman/listinfo/lartc HOWTO: http://lartc.org/
