Hello We have local network with about 2000 users and all of them are going to the Internet through main gateway using masquerade. The problem is IRC and oident. It uses file /proc/net/ip_conntrack for searching the IP address using known source and destination port numbers. But the oident takes for it all CPU time, because file /proc/net/ip_conntrack grows and changes very quickly. When I type cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack, the screen scrolls with huge amount of conntrack lines forever. Is there a another way how to find IP address belonged to known port number? For example using kernel functions like ip_conntrack_get or something similar? Please HELP! Thanks a lot! Martin Zdila zdila@xxxxxxxx
