Hello there, I have configured more than one Linux namespaces and started conntrackd in each using Œip netns exe <ns-nam> conntrackd -C /var/conn.conf² and I have not figured a way to execute conntrackd Client mode commands in both default as well as specific namespace. Take a look at failures below. I am executing these commands as Œroot¹. Root@host:/home/debian# ip netns exe ns1 conntrackd -s queue [Thu Aug 23 18:17:53 2018] (pid=28091) [ERROR] can't connect: is conntrackd running? appropriate permissions? It asks if conntrackd is running and ps -ef shows it is running in this name space. Root@hostPs -ef | grep conntrackd | grep ns1 Root@host:root 23761 22544 0 13:57 ? 00:00:03 conntrackd -C /etc/conntrackd/conntrackd-sc-ns1.conf However conntrack CLI works just ok Root@host:/home/debian# ip netns exe ns1 conntrack -S cpu=0 found=0 invalid=12 ignore=0 insert=0 insert_failed=0 drop=0 early_drop=0 error=0 search_restart=81 My objective is to use some Client commands to ensure Conntrackd is working as expected in each namespace. What are other ways to do that? Thanks Pankaja
