Re: testing installation of conntrack command line tool

[Alan Ezust <alan.ezust@presinet.com>]

Here is a little follow-up - I discovered that
regardless of what kernel options I enabled, I am unable to actually build the 
nf_conntrack_core or nf_conntrack_standalone sources in net/netfilter with 
the Makefile that is generated by linux 2.6.16.29.

Currently, the generated Makefile in net/netfilter only builds these files: 
nf_conntrack_core, nf_conntrack_standalone, if CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK is 
defined. 

However, there doesn't seem to be such a config option available in the kernel 
configuration for this version. Adding a line CONFIG_NF_CT_NETLINK to 
my .config file doesn't seem to make a difference. 

So in fact, when I thought I was building conntrack, I was not. 

Is this a known issue?
