hi all, im using RH7.3 with kernel 2.4.19 and have migrated to iptables 1.2.7a. earlier it was kernel 2.4.19 with iptables 1.2.6a.. everything went ok but since using the newer version of iptables am getting this messages in /var/log/message file... Oct 9 12:25:24 ICG kernel: NET: 5 messages suppressed. Oct 9 12:26:31 ICG kernel: NET: 1 messages suppressed. Oct 9 12:26:31 ICG kernel: ip_conntrack: max number of expected connections 1 of ftp reached for <ipA> -> <ipB>, reusing Oct 9 12:27:12 ICG kernel: ip_conntrack: max number of expected connections 1 of ftp reached for <ipA> -> <ipB>, reusing these messages are piling the message file. am cusrious now why so ?.. what does this message signify ? earlier verion of iptables never gave any error & the only difference in compling new iptables(1.2.7a) is that this time its compiled for using module ip_nat_h323.o Awaiting a reply very anxiously A.H
