Hi, am I right, that at the momenent there is no working code for netfilter with connection_tracking with ipsec in kernel2.6 ?? after some hours of reading the list, and trying: - kernel 2.6.7 - patch-o-matic-ng (20040620), only with: - nf_reset - ipsec-XX-* I also tried kernel 2.6.3 with the same patches.... my setup is as followed: network1 -> firewall1 ->internet -> firewall2 -> network2 Betwenn firewall1 and firewall2 is a ipsec tunnel established. And it is working. The firewall1 one is desingend for conn-track connections to network2. my default rule in forward-chain has as the first rule: iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT but it does not seem to work, if I put a LOG rule just behind it, I get the packets logged, but the conn-tracking does not handle them. Have I missed anything ?? Or is kernel 2.6 with ipsec and netfilter not realy useable at the moment ?? Thanks in advance for any help regarding this problem.... -- Bye Ernst --------- Ernst Lehmann Email: lehmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
