Thanks! This sounds indeed quite like what I am looking for.
[...] I'm writing a whitepaper on the subject, and will post it when
its ready.
Do you have an estimation when this will be? I'd be very interested to
read it.
Regards, Juergen.
As promised, a very early version of what will eventully become a
netlink sockets programming guide. Be forewarned, its got no examples,
useage descriptions, or any of the other niceties that you've come to
expect from most programming guides. It does have the rough outline of
how netlink sockets in genereal, and how the netlink_firewall protocol
in particular, work, however. Let me know if you find it helpful, or if
there is anything you would especially like to see in the finished
version. That goes for any interested party (I'd like this to be a
usefull paper).
The paper, and any future versions can be found here:
