You need to device some other method... Netfilter doesn't works in the process context, it's in the kernel space. Since netfilter is not working in the process context, I dont think there will be a mechanism to find the pid of the user who handling the socket. If there is any pls let me know.... :-) Regards, Shine Mohamed -- Shine Mohamed Jabbar <shinemohamed_j@naturesoft.net> Naturesoft www.nature-soft.com -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
