Hi , I am using ulogd to store iptables logs to /tmp/logfile.txt. There is an application ( say X ) running on userspace ( using nfqueue in FORWARD chain in filter table ) to do some kind of blocking packets based on time ( some thing like a minimal parental control feature ). I would also want to generate some logs and put into the same /tmp/logfile.txt file. Since ulogd and X are using same file , we need some file locking mechanism. Is there any other way to forward these message to netlink socket and ulogd can itself handle, so that i dont have to do any kind of synchronization. May be i can put the question in this way: Kernel is sending some message and ulogd listens and receives the message on netlink socket. Could any other application in userspace , send some message to this socket and ulogd can read and write to the log file f ?
There's the UNIX plugin for ulogd2 (not yet in mainline) that Eric Leblond and Pierre Chifflier contributed time ago. However, some minor issues prevented to push into mainline, any word on it, Eric, Pierre?
