Hello, it's my first post here - so welcome everyone! I'm using Debian with kernel 2.4.6. I realized that I have a lot lines in ip_conntrack like that: tcp 6 431925 ESTABLISHED src=213.155.172.138 dst=217.17.41.88 sport=1057 dport=8074 src=217.17.41.88 dst=213.155.172.138 sport=8074 dport=1057 [ASSURED] use=1 I guess that 431925 (third values) is a timer - means how long this connection will be tracked. Value of 431925 (in secs) means about 5 days... Those connections stay in ip_conntrack even after user reboot or shutdown his computer. I use connlimit and would like to not allow more than 20 connections at once - here is my problem. After few days my ip_conntrack is full of connections like that. Users can't make new connections, because they have those 'dead' connections and connlimit prevent them from making new. Sorry for my poor English, I'm waiting for some advices. -- Best regards, nexor mailto:nexor@xxxxxxx
