Hi list!

I programmed a dummy module for netfilter which tries to match a packet 
and if it does, it will do nothing (NF_ACCEPT) but I would want it to 
send an event to a program in user space to do something, how can I do that?

So something like:

a) packet gets my hook and do NF_ACCEPT.
b) modules sends an event to user space.
c) program in user space does something.

Thanks!
Pablo

P.S: thanks for this great piece of code!!
