I know that this option is a bit confusing so I have applied a patch to obsolete it. Thus, you won't need to pass -S to conntrackd anymore in the upcoming 0.9.6 release. > Also, the example shipped in the 0.9.5 includes the obsolete > "StripNAT" option. This was removed from SVN. BTW, SVN currently contains a patch to enable logging via file/syslog for the statistics mode. Still, this requires evaluation in terms of performance (e.g. very busy firewalls) and some kind of tool that digest the logging information. -- "Los honestos son inadaptados sociales" -- Les Luthiers - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
