Hi, I'm pretty new to Iptables and I try to create documentation while reading others like this http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/chunkyhtml/theconntrackentries.html . On the URL below there's a brief explanation about conntrack and the /proc entry. I want to know if there's documentation explaining every type of state that a connection can have for the /proc entry. For example I don't really understand when a connection will have the state FIN_WAIT or TIME_WAIT. That's maybe my lack of knowledge of the RFC ... PS : Sorry if that makes a double post. I've posted it with my other adress which isn't suscribed to this ML and in normal cases it should be dropped. -- -- Eddahbi Karim Phone : (33) (0)6 61 30 57 77 France
