Hi,

I've problem when using conntrack and conntrackd.

I tried to create a record using conntrack. But, I didn't see the record
in conntrackd cache neither on MASTER even BACKUP. However, I can see
the record in conntrack (conntrack -L)

Does it meen that conntrackd isn't able to synchronize manually created
conntrack records?

The appropriate patches need to go into kernel for this. I sent a patch
for this, look for:

[PATCH 7/8][CTNETLINK] send conntrack events on ctnetlink actions

Although it is still under discussion.

I still wasn't able to find any patch. I've found only a message
(http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter-devel/2006-July/024923.h
tml) in netfilter-devel. Is it available as a kernel patch or only as a
"source code tree version" available throught svn/cvs? Is it available
for kernel >= 2.6.20 and current netfilter libraries?

Any help would be very helpful bcs I'm lost.
