hi, simple question - if a userspace ip_queue program (fireflier)
can determine the pid of an incoming packet, why can't ipt_owner.c
do the same?

how do i force, even by using a userspace thing which asks the
packet to be "re-examined", the skb->sk->sk_socket->file to be
set?

i _need_ this to work!

_yes_ i have a modified version of ipt_owner.c which can track down
the full path name of the program.

_yes_ i'm happy with creating more than one per-executable-program-name
rule for instances where sockets are shared between executables
(e.g. they're passed over unix-domain-sockets).

help, help!

l.

I assume the netfilter hook you come in on is NF_IP_LOCAL_IN?  This is
at ip level.  The sock (sk) is protocol specific, and hasn't been
looked up yet.  Look at the protocols' input handlers (i.e. udp_rcv or
tcp_v4_rcv), they do this lookup (i.e. udp_v4_lookup or __tcp_v4_lookup).
The sk_filter() point is probably the first time you have an association
between the skb (inbound) and the sock it's going to be queued to.
LSM modules use security_sock_rcv_skb at this point.

thanks,
