As for now, the creation and update of conntracks via ctnetlink do not propagate an event to userspace. This can result in inconsistent situations if several userspace processes modify the connection tracking table by means of ctnetlink at the same time. Specifically, using the conntrack-cli while running an instance of conntrackde unsynchronizes the cache of conntrackd with the kernel conntrack table. Note that deletions do not suffer from this problem. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso -- "Los honestos son inadaptados sociales" -- Les Luthiers
