nat/conntrack module names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 In short....

I believe that the modules named ip_nat_* (like ip_nat_ftp) should be named 
ip_conntrack_* (ip_conntrack_ftp). "nat" is not correct because they are used 
in cases where nat is not performed. 

For example, firewalls that want to allow ftp sessions will load the 
ip_nat_ftp module no matter if they are doing nat or not... Since this has to 
do with connection tracking their name should contain 'conntrack' instead of 
'nat'.

Sorry if this is a known issue...

TIA
