Hi List,

I am having a problem abt IPtables Logging.
The LOG target logs the messages to a particular file say /var/log/messages depending on the entries in syslog.conf. Now my problem is, i want to log messages in some other special file. Or i can say, a process is running which will receive all the LOg messages and will store it. I was thinking abt the sol for this. I went thro the code of iptables Logging in extensions folder. There are files like libipt_LOG.c where we are having print statements. So is it fine if those statements gets replaced with the api i will provide for logging in some special file. If it is, Then i think i have to write the patch for it.( And i think this patch is for iptables in usr mode only). 

If it is not okay, Then i think i have to provide a new target which will do these things. But in that case, i don't know how i can do this.

Plz give ur suggestions in both the cases.

Thanks & Regards.
Amit.

Hi,

Have you already read about ulog and the ulog daemon.  It's possible to 
log to any file or even to sql.
And you can write your own extensions for it.

[suparna misri]

 Hello,
     I am doing a small project in networking in which
 I will compress packets at sender side and receiver
 will decompress the packets.I am using "iptables
 ip_queue module" for capturing and changing the
 contents of packets which I know how to do. My
problem
 is that if packet is lost and does not reach to the
 receiver then it cannot decompress it . How can
 receiver notify sender(eg send nack) that it does not
 have the required packet so that sender can send it
 again. Should I build and send a new packet or can I
 use "iptables ip_queue modules" for the same.
 
 I hope I could explain my point well.
 I will really appreciate any help.
 Thanks. 
 
 Sincerely,
 Suparna.
