Subject: viewing rules and traffic while inserting/removing rules
Date: Wed, 07 May 2008 19:26:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4821E655.4010504@roth.lu> (raw)
Hi there,
I have quite a large list of blacklisted networks in my iptables
firewall, approx. 20,000.
Now I have a script that updates this blacklist according to my needs
every hour. My problem now is that during the update period (which
consists of several iptables [-I|-D] $CHAIN -s ... -j ... commands) my
traffic accounting is going haywire.
I have narrowed it down to the problem that displaying the rules (from
which I extract the traffic information via iptables -xvnL $CHAIN)
intermittently shows 0s (zeroes) as paket and byte counters while the
insert/delete commands are being issued.
Is there a locking problem? Should I maybe report this to the devel list?
Regards,
Marc
