Thanks, this was the cause of the problem for the test program (expect_create). Now it works, master and expect lines are filled. Nevertheless, I tried to adapt it for the UDP protocol, and although the "nf_conntrack_ftp" module is inserted, the error is again Invalid parameters. Here is the command line that I use (conntrack_tools): conntrack -I --orig-src 1.1.1.1 --orig-dst 2.2.2.2 --reply-src 2.2.2.2 --reply-dst 1.1.1.1 -p udp --orig-port-src 10000 --orig-port-dst 10001 --reply-port-src 10001 --reply-port-dst 10000 -t 600 -u UNSET => Master rule is OK. conntrack -I expect --orig-src 1.1.1.1 --orig-dst 2.2.2.2 --tuple-src 4.4.4.4 --tuple-dst 5.5.5.5 --mask-src 255.255.255.0 --mask-dst 255.255.255.255 -p udp --orig-port-src 10000 --orig-port-dst 10001 -t 600 --tuple-port-src 10241 --tuple-port-dst 10242 --mask-port-src 10 --mask-port-dst 300 => Operation failed: invalid parameters Is the expectation mechanism possible for UDP connections? I need to accept the response with remote-src-port=* (port is randomly chosen) Regards, > > -- > "Los honestos son inadaptados sociales" -- Les Luthiers > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
