queue newbie

queue newbie

[Michael D. Berger]

On RH-WS-3 (4 when I get around to it), I would like
to use the capabilities of -j QUEUE.  Google seems to
indicate that I need libipq, and to get this, perhaps
I need to get an rpm for iptables-devel.

Is this the way to go?  If so, where is the best place
to get the rpm, and what version should I get?  If not,
how should I proceed?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Mike.

Dear Mr.Berger,
                            Download the latest version of iptables src 
and do the following to get libipq,
  # make KERNEL_DIR=<<where-you-built-your-kernel>>
  # make install KERNEL_DIR=<<where-you-built-your-kernel>>
  # make install-devel
IMPORTANT:  Your kernel  must have enabled with the  CONFIG_IP_NF_QUEUE 
( Userspace queueing via NETLINK (EXPERIMENTAL) ) module to use this 
queueing feature with iptables.

thanks,
bharthix.

Thank you for this help.  Additionally, 
From where do I download the latest iptables src?
How do I enable CONFIG_IP_NF_QUEUE?
In Red Hat Workstation, where is <where-you-built-your-kernel>?
Thanks again,
Mike.

If you are compiling a kernel you have to configure, which parts of the 
big source code schould be compiled. Because of that there exists a 
config file. In this config file you have to enable CONFIG_IP_NF_QUEUE.

Normaly in /usr/src . But if you don't know where the kernelsources 
schould be you won't be able to patch this kernel with netfilter 
patches. And if your are not able to patch your kernel, you wont get the 
new feature you want. Thatswhy you schould do some reading, googling und 
expirence about how to compile a linux kernel.
If youre done with this you should be able to answer questions like 
"From where do I download the latest iptables src?" by yourself.

RE: queue newbie

[Michael D. Berger]

I have upgraded to RH-E-WS-4, and downloaded and installed the
latest iptables as described below.  In C++, I wrote some code
following the suggestions in:
   http://www.crhc.uiuc.edu/~grier/projects/libipq.html
To get it to compile, I had to do some hacking in:
   linux/socket.h
   bits/socket.h
   bits/uio.h
to deal with multiple definitions, but I got it to compile.
However, it does not work; my code waits but does not receive
the icmp pings I send it.
I note that I do not have an environment variable QUEUE.  I
could provide one, but this might be taking an asperin for
cancer.
Advice would be much appreciated.
Mike.
