Hello, Is there any kernel patch available to generate netlink messages for events like add/modify/delete from iptables. If there is none , will it at least be possible to try create one ?? . As I know there is no specific NETLINK family for iptables as such . With all the generic nature that iptables provides is it a good approach to start from ground up by defining new NETLINK family and then creating a netlink event system . If so could you give me some pointers regarding it . Thanks for you replies Thanks , K.Vivek -- 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
